Example

Before using the ADX sink connector, you need to create a configuration file through one of the following methods.

  • JSON

    {
    "configs": {
    "clusterUrl":"https://somecluster.eastus.kusto.windows.net",
    "database":"somedb",
    "table": "tableName",

    "mappingRefName": "mapping ref name",
    "mappingRefType":"CSV",
    "flushImmediately":true,
    "batchSize":100,
    "batchTimeMs":10000,
    }
    }
  • YAML
