How do I automate adding a custom Iot Hub Endpoint (and route to it)? - azure-iot-hub

In order to receive Azure IotHub Device Twin change notifications, it appears that it's necessary to create a custom endpoint and create a route to send notifications to that endpoint. This seems straightforward enough on the Azure Portal, but as one might expect we want to automate it.
I haven't been able to find any documentation for the the az cli or even the REST API, though I might have missed something. I didn't find anything promising looking in the SDKs either.
How do I automate adding a custom endpoint and then setting up the route for device twin notifications?

You can check IotHubs template to see if it helps.
Route:
"routing": {
"endpoints": {
"serviceBusQueues": [
{
"connectionString": "string",
"name": "string",
"subscriptionId": "string",
"resourceGroup": "string"
}
]
},
"routes": [
{
"name": "string",
"source": "string",
"condition": "string",
"endpointNames": [
"string"
],
"isEnabled": boolean
}
],
Consumer group:
{
"apiVersion": "2016-02-03",
"type": "Microsoft.Devices/IotHubs/eventhubEndpoints/ConsumerGroups",
"name": "[concat(parameters('hubName'), '/events/cg1')]",
"dependsOn": [
"[concat('Microsoft.Devices/Iothubs/', parameters('hubName'))]"
]
},

Netcore server respond to slack interactive message

I am trying to build Slack application with asp net core server. Currently, I have added Slash command which makes a request to my local server through ngrok. Once my server receives that request, it makes a post request to configured slack webhook to display interactive message which looks like pic from attachment.
I want user to be able to select yes or no and receive the result in my controller, but I can't realize how to tell Slack where should it make a post request. I attach the code of this message which is posted through weebhook into Slack:
{
"blocks": [
{
"type": "section",
"text": {
"type": "mrkdwn",
"text": "This is a section block with a button."
}
},
{
"type": "actions",
"block_id": "actionblock789",
"elements": [
{
"type": "button",
"text": {
"type": "plain_text",
"text": "Yes"
},
"style": "primary",
"value": "yes"
},
{
"type": "button",
"text": {
"type": "plain_text",
"text": "No"
},
"value": "no"
}
]
}
]
}
What I have in netcore is TestController with route /api/test which I suppose should receive from Slack a payload where information about selected button is set, but I couldn't find a way where specify a url in this json code.
You can not configure a URL in the JSON code. That is not how it works with the Slack API.
Slack will send all responses to interactive message - like when someone clicks on a button - to the configured request URL of your Slack app. Check out this link how to find that parameter: documentation

How to version an API in Azure API Management using Azure Resource Manager

When creating a new API in an Azure API Management Service using the portal, you can specify whether you would like the API to be versioned. However, I can't find a way to replicate this when creating an API in the Management service using ARM. Is this not currently supported, or am I missing something?
I have tried creating a versioned API in the portal and comparing the created template to the template of a non-versioned API and can't see a difference.
Thanks in advance.
To achieve this through ARM scripts you'll need to create an ApiVersionSet resource first:
{
"name": "[concat(variables('ManagementServiceName'), '/', variables('VersionSetName'))]",
"type": "Microsoft.ApiManagement/service/api-version-sets",
"apiVersion": "2017-03-01",
"properties": {
"description": "Api Description",
"displayName": "Api Name",
"versioningScheme": "Segment"
}
}
Then update the apiVersionSetId property on the Microsoft.ApiManagement/service/apis resource:
{
"type": "Microsoft.ApiManagement/service/apis",
"name": "[concat(variables('ManagementServiceName'), '/', variables('ApiName'))]",
"apiVersion": "2017-03-01",
"dependsOn": [
"[resourceId('Microsoft.ApiManagement/service/api-version-sets', variables('ManagementServiceName'), variables('VersionSetName'))]"
],
"properties": {
"displayName": "string",
"apiRevision": "1",
"description": "",
"serviceUrl": "string",
"path": "string",
"protocols": [
"https"
],
"isCurrent": true,
"apiVersion": "v1",
"apiVersionName": "v1",
"apiVersionDescription": "string",
"apiVersionSetId": "[concat('/api-version-sets', variables('VersionSetName'))]"
}
}
resource for the api-version-sets
"name": "my-api-version-sets",
"type": "api-version-sets",
"apiVersion": "2018-01-01",
"properties": {
"displayName": "Provider API",
"versioningScheme": "Segment"
},
"dependsOn": [
"[concat('Microsoft.ApiManagement/service/', variables('apiManagementServiceName'))]"
]
Then other to apis
"apiVersion": "2018-01-01",
"type": "apis",
"properties": {
....
"isCurrent": true,
"apiVersion": "v1",
"apiVersionSetId": "/api-version-sets/my-api-version-sets"
You can specify the version on Azure ARM portal in path,header or as a query string.But the old azure API management portal not support in build versioning.Any way you can specify the versioning in Web API URL suffix.
Still if you have any issue kindly add some image and describe your issue.

Set a custom domain for an azure Storage Account through an ARM template

I'm trying to setup an ARM template to set a custom domain for an Azure storage account. I am only running this portion of my ARM template after the storage account is initially setup and a DNS record has been created, but it still fails with this error:
: The custom domain name could not be verified. CNAME mapping from myStorage.mydomain.com to .blob.core.windows.net does not exist.
I've replaced my domain in the error, but the rest is exact. I notice that it looks suspicious since it doesn't list the name of my storage account, but the storage account is named, so I can't figure out how to affect that. Here's the resource definition (again, the account name and domain are replaced, but all else is the same)
"resources": [
{
"name": "myStorageAccount",
"type": "Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts",
"location": "[resourceGroup().location]",
"apiVersion": "2017-06-01",
"sku": {
"name": "Standard_LRS"
},
"dependsOn": [],
"tags": {
"displayName": "Storage Account"
},
"kind": "BlobStorage",
"properties":{
"customDomain":{
"name":"myStorage.mydomain.com",
"useSubDomain":false
}
}
}
]
I can set it to the same custom domain through the Azure portal. It validates fine there. I'm sure I could do it through a separate PowerShell script, but I prefer to do it in the ARM, so as to minimize the need for additional scripts when setting up my environment.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

ARM - How can I get the access key from a storage account to use in AppSettings later in the template?

I'm creating an Azure Resource Manager template that instantiates multiple resources, including an Azure storage account and an Azure App Service with a Web App.
I'd like to be able to capture the primary access key (or the full connection string, either way is fine) from the newly-created storage account, and use that as a value for one of the AppSettings for the Web App.
Is that possible?
Use the listkeys helper function.
"appSettings": [
{
"name": "STORAGE_KEY",
"value": "[listKeys(resourceId('Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts', parameters('storageAccountName')), providers('Microsoft.Storage', 'storageAccounts').apiVersions[0]).keys[0].value]"
}
]
This quickstart does something similar:
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/cache-web-app-arm-with-redis-cache-provision/
The syntax has changed since the other answer was accepted. The error you will now hit is 'Template language expression property 'key1' doesn't exist, available properties are 'keys'
Keys are now represented as an array of keys, and the syntax is now:
"StorageAccount": "[Concat('DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=',variables('StorageAccountName'),';AccountKey=',listKeys(resourceId('Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts', variables('StorageAccountName')), providers('Microsoft.Storage', 'storageAccounts').apiVersions[0]).keys[0].value)]",
See: http://samcogan.com/retrieve-azure-storage-key-in-arm-script/
I faced with this issue two times. First in the 2015 and last today in May of 2017.
I need to add connection strings to the WebApp - I want to add strings automatically from generated resources during deployment from the ARM template. It can help later to not add manually this values.
First time I used old version of the function listKeys (it looks like old version returns result not as object but as value):
"AzureWebJobsStorage": {
"type": "Custom",
"value": "[concat(variables('storageConnectionString'), listKeys(resourceId('Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts', parameters('storageAccountName')), '2015-05-01-preview').key1)]"
},
Today last version of the working template is:
"resources": [
{
"apiVersion": "2015-08-01",
"type": "config",
"name": "connectionstrings",
"dependsOn": [
"[resourceId('Microsoft.Web/Sites/', parameters('webSiteName'))]"
],
"properties": {
"DefaultConnection": {
"value": "[concat('Data Source=tcp:', reference(resourceId('Microsoft.Sql/servers/', parameters('sqlserverName'))).fullyQualifiedDomainName, ',1433;Initial Catalog=', parameters('databaseName'), ';User Id=', parameters('administratorLogin'), '#', parameters('sqlserverName'), ';Password=', parameters('administratorLoginPassword'), ';')]",
"type": "SQLServer"
},
"AzureWebJobsStorage": {
"type": "Custom",
"value": "[concat(variables('storageConnectionString'), listKeys(resourceId('Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts', parameters('storageName')), '2016-01-01').keys[0].value)]"
},
"AzureWebJobsDashboard": {
"type": "Custom",
"value": "[concat(variables('storageConnectionString'), listKeys(resourceId('Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts', parameters('storageName')), '2016-01-01').keys[0].value)]"
}
}
},
Thanks.
below is example for adding storage account to ADLA
"storageAccounts": [
{
"name": "[parameters('DataLakeAnalyticsStorageAccountname')]",
"properties": {
"accessKey": "[listKeys(variables('storageAccountid'),'2015-05-01-preview').key1]"
}
}
],
in variable you can keep
"variables": {
"apiVersion": "[providers('Microsoft.Storage', 'storageAccounts').apiVersions[0]]",
"storageAccountid": "[concat(resourceGroup().id,'/providers/','Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/', parameters('DataLakeAnalyticsStorageAccountname'))]"
},

is there a wikipedia api call that can retrieve restriction status of the article?

Otherwise I must do querySelector on the page content to find if there is a some kind of padlock and by try and error check what (id or class) is unique to that icon.
Other source to find is this info is to go on information page by adding $action=info to the url params. But then another problem comes in that the protection status is written in that's particular wiki language.
Using the API is the right way to do it, but you need to use action=query. The padlocks icons are inconsistent across wikis, and most wikis probably don't even have them.
If you use the right parameters for your API query, you should be getting the results you're looking for.
Example for the English Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=info&format=json&inprop=protection&titles=Elton%20John gives you this result:
{
"batchcomplete": "",
"query": {
"pages": {
"5052197": {
"pageid": 5052197,
"ns": 0,
"title": "Elton John",
"contentmodel": "wikitext",
"pagelanguage": "en",
"touched": "2015-10-02T03:49:24Z",
"lastrevid": 683730854,
"length": 115931,
"protection": [
{
"type": "edit",
"level": "autoconfirmed",
"expiry": "infinity"
},
{
"type": "move",
"level": "sysop",
"expiry": "infinity"
}
],
"restrictiontypes": [
"edit",
"move"
]
}
}
}
}
Here the protection array tells you that only sysops can move the page, and only autoconfirmed users can edit it.
If you make a similar query on another wiki, say the French Wikipedia: https://fr.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=info&format=json&inprop=protection&titles=Malia%20Obama , you get this in response (trimmed):
"protection": [
{
"type": "edit",
"level": "sysop",
"expiry": "infinity"
},
{
"type": "move",
"level": "sysop",
"expiry": "infinity"
}
],
"restrictiontypes": [
"edit",
"move"
]
In this case, sysops are the only one who can move and edit the page.
