Azure
Handling blob receipts and the constant GetBlobProperties requests
What language does your question apply to? (e.g. C#, JavaScript, Java, All)
Using C# with Azure.Storage.Blobs v12.10.0 but this question is generic and not specific to a specific language
Question
As part of my Azure Policies, diagnostic settings are configured for all storage accounts that push blob logs to a Log Analytics workspace. Since implementing my blob trigger, I have seen a massive increase in the number of logs in my workspace caused by the constant blob receipt checks from the trigger. The number of logs are relative to the number of receipts requests which as of now, sits at 300k-ish an hour which is roughly $350 a month.
To mitigate this, the options I see available are to exclude specific storage accounts from my Azure Policy (not ideal) or to make changes to my function but what that change would entail is unclear. I am looking for guidance on what sort of code changes might be available.
Hi @PleaseStopAsking Could you please let us know which version of Azure.Storage.Blob extension are you using? There is one additional option to use the event grid in order to avoid interactions with the storage account which is resulting in excess of logs. Let us know if that helps.

We resolved this issue by changing the BlobTrigger to an EventGridTrigger. This stopped the large number of transactions.
Hi @PleaseStopAsking Does the experiment by stuartdotnet helping in your case?
@Ved2806 I have been unable to allocate resources to test at this time. I have instead chosen to disable diagnostics for this specific storage account only until we can revisit which will be within the next few months.
