Your organization collects Azure Event Hub data for a wide range of Azure infrastructures, including custom applications. Event Hubs can process and store events, data, or telemetry produced by distributed software and devices. After Event Hub logs are collected in your Splunk deployment, you can accelerate incident investigations involving Cloud infrastructure.
