Azure blob storage and stream analytics

I read what in azure blob very nice save some data for statistics or something else, after it create requests for blob and show statistics to website (dashboard). But I don't know how to use stream analytics for showing statistics. It is some SDK for create query to blob and generate josn data. Or ... I don't know. And I have more question about it:

And maybe you know how to use this technology. Help me please. Thanks, and have a nice day.

@Taras - did you get a chance to toy with the Stream Analytics UI?

When you add a blob input you can either add an entire container - which means Stream Analytics will scan the entire container for new files or you can specify a path prefix pattern which will make Stream Analytics look in only that path.

You can also specify tokens such as {date}, {time} on the path prefix pattern to help guide Stream Analytics on the files to read.

Generally speaking - it is highly recommended to use Event Hub as input for the improved latency.

As for output - you can either use Power BI which would give you an interactive dashboard or you can output to some storage (blob, table, SQL, etc...) and build a dashboard on top of that.

You can also try to do one of the walkthroughs to get a feel for Stream Analytics: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/stream-analytics-twitter-sentiment-analysis-trends/

Thanks!

Ziv.
