Explore analytics on EventHub capture data (customer churn?)

[chgeuer]

ISVs might use the metering information to gain insights into the usage of their products. One might explore how to use past events to gain interesting insights.

If EventHub is used with EventHub capture turned on, the blob container used for the capture contains Avro files containing the raw JSON messages. It might be interesting to explore how these could be used for analytical purposes.

The .NET demo src/Demos/ReadEventHubCaptureSample/ReadEventHubCaptureSampleProgram.fs allows simple download of these assets.

One interesting aspect to keep in mind is that the series of captured events contains an event log of everything related to metering, not only InternalUsageEvents, but also messages related to subscription creation, API responses from submissions to the Azure Marketplace Metering API, and other events. So the data has different types.
