Monitor Event Grid message delivery

  • 2 minutes to read

This article describes how to use the portal to see the status of event deliveries.

Event Grid provides durable delivery. It delivers each message at least once for each subscription. Events are sent to the registered webhook of each subscription immediately. If a webhook doesn't acknowledge receipt of an event within 60 seconds of the first delivery attempt, Event Grid retries delivery of the event.

For information about event delivery and retries, Event Grid message delivery and retry.

Delivery metrics

The portal displays metrics for the status of delivering event messages.

For topics, here are some of the metrics:

  • Publish Succeeded: Event successfully sent to the topic, and processed with a 2xx response.
  • Publish Failed: Event sent to the topic but rejected with an error code.
  • Unmatched: Event successfully published to the topic, but not matched to an event subscription. The event was dropped.

For subscriptions, here are some of the metrics:

  • Delivery Succeeded: Event successfully delivered to the subscription's endpoint, and received a 2xx response.

  • Delivery Failed: Every time the service tries to deliver and the event handler doesn't return a success 2xx code, the Delivery Failed counter is incremented. If we attempt to deliver the same event multiple times and fail, the Delivery Failed counter is incremented for each failure.

  • Expired Events: Event was not delivered and all retry attempts were sent. The event was dropped.

  • Matched Events: Event in the topic was matched by the event subscription.
