Azure Service Bus Queues binding spec

Detailed documentation on the Azure Service Bus Queues binding component

Component format

To setup Azure Service Bus Queues binding create a component of type bindings.azure.servicebusqueues. See this guide on how to create and apply a binding configuration.

Connection String Authentication

apiVersion: dapr.io/v1alpha1
kind: Component

  name: <NAME>

Spec metadata fields

Field Required Binding support Details Example
connectionString Y Input/Output The Service Bus connection string. Required unless using Azure AD authentication. "Endpoint=sb://************"
namespaceName N Input/Output Parameter to set the address of the Service Bus namespace, as a fully-qualified domain name. Required if using Azure AD authentication. "namespace.servicebus.windows.net"
queueName Y Input/Output The Service Bus queue name. Queue names are case-insensitive and will always be forced to lowercase. "queuename"
ttlInSeconds N Output Parameter to set the default message time to live. If this parameter is omitted, messages will expire after 14 days. See also 86400
maxRetriableErrorsPerSec N Input Maximum number of retriable errors that are processed per second. If a message fails to be processed with a retriable error, the component adds a delay before it starts processing another message, to avoid immediately re-processing messages that have failed. Default: 10 10
minConnectionRecoveryInSec N Input Minimum interval (in seconds) to wait before attempting to reconnect to Azure Service Bus in case of a connection failure. Default: 2 5
maxConnectionRecoveryInSec N Input Maximum interval (in seconds) to wait before attempting to reconnect to Azure Service Bus in case of a connection failure. After each attempt, the binding waits a random number of seconds, increasing every time, between the minimum and the maximum. Default: 300 (5 minutes) 600
maxActiveMessages N Defines the maximum number of messages to be processing or in the buffer at once. This should be at least as big as the maximum concurrent handlers. Default: 1 1
maxConcurrentHandlers N Defines the maximum number of concurrent message handlers. Default: 1. 1
lockRenewalInSec N Defines the frequency at which buffered message locks will be renewed. Default: 20. 20
timeoutInSec N Input/Output Timeout for all invocations to the Azure Service Bus endpoint, in seconds. Note that this option impacts network calls and it’s unrelated to the TTL applies to messages. Default: 60 60

Azure Active Directory (AAD) authentication

The Azure Service Bus Queues binding component supports authentication using all Azure Active Directory mechanisms, including Managed Identities. For further information and the relevant component metadata fields to provide depending on the choice of AAD authentication mechanism, see the docs for authenticating to Azure.

Example Configuration

apiVersion: dapr.io/v1alpha1
kind: Component
metadata:
  name: <NAME>
spec:
  type: bindings.azure.servicebusqueues
  version: v1
  metadata:
  - name: azureTenantId
    value: "***"
  - name: azureClientId
    value: "***"
  - name: azureClientSecret
    value: "***"
  - name: namespaceName
    # Required when using Azure Authentication.
    # Must be a fully-qualified domain name
    value: "servicebusnamespace.servicebus.windows.net"
  - name: queueName
    value: queue1
  - name: ttlInSeconds
    value: 60

Binding support

This component supports both input and output binding interfaces.

This component supports output binding with the following operations:

  • create

Specifying a TTL per message

Time to live can be defined on queue level (as illustrated above) or at the message level. The value defined at message level overwrites any value set at queue level.

To set time to live at message level use the metadata section in the request body during the binding invocation.

The field name is ttlInSeconds.


curl -X POST http://localhost:3500/v1.0/bindings/myServiceBusQueue \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
        "data": {
          "message": "Hi"
        },
        "metadata": {
          "ttlInSeconds": "60"
        },
        "operation": "create"
      }'
