Listening for EventGrid events via socket? RRS feed

    Is there a means to listen to EventGrid events via a socket or similar style connection?  As a simple example, can I listen for events in a custom console application (that doesn't self host a web endpoint)?  My current impression is that I would need to put a webhook endpoint in between and notify the console app via socket connection on my own.  How can any user interface respond to EventGrid events with writing a custom webhook adapter?

    From an Event Grid Perspective, an event handler is the place where the event is sent. Currently the type of Event Handlers available are : 

    • Azure Functions
    • Logic Apps
    • Azure Automation
    • WebHooks
    • Microsoft Flow

    So depending on what your end goal is there are 2 possible ways to go about this 

    1. As you suggest going the webhook route
    2. Using something like Logic Apps/Microsoft Flow with their rich IFTTT format, Azure Functions for some tasks or Azure Automation for runbooks which are more complex

    From the last part of your question my assumption is that in your scenario, you have an app and you would like the UX to change based on an Event being triggered, let me know if thats not the case.

    For that scenario what you could do is use the Azure Relay in conjunction with EventGrid. Luckily there is a sample available that walks through just this scenario https://github.com/Azure-Samples/event-grid-relay-listener   in this sample, an Azure Relay WCF Namespace is used to connect an Event Grid Subscription and display it in a Console application. 

    If you run into an issue using this, post back here and we can help figure out the solution
