Description and usage of GetAzureQueueStorage processor:

Retrieves the messages from an Azure Queue Storage. The retrieved messages will be deleted from the queue by default. If the requirement is to consume messages without deleting them, set ‘Auto Delete Messages’ to ‘false’. Note: There might be chances of receiving duplicates in situations like when a message is received but was unable to be deleted from the queue due to some unexpected situations.

Properties:

In the list below, the names of required properties appear in bold. Any other properties (not in bold) are considered optional. The table also indicates any default values, whether a property supports the Expression Language Guide, and whether a property is considered “sensitive”, meaning that its value will be encrypted. Before entering a value in a sensitive property, ensure that the nifi.properties file has an entry for the property nifi.sensitive.props.key.

Name	Default Value	Allowable Values	Description
Storage Account Name			The storage account name. There are certain risks in allowing the account name to be stored as a flowfile attribute. While it does provide for a more flexible flow by allowing the account name to be fetched dynamically from a flowfile attribute, care must be taken to restrict access to the event provenance data (e.g. by strictly controlling the policies governing provenance for this Processor). In addition, the provenance repositories may be put on encrypted disk partitions. Sensitive Property: true Supports Expression Language: true (will be evaluated using variable registry only)
Storage Account Key			The storage account key. This is an admin-like password providing access to every container in this account. It is recommended one uses Shared Access Signature (SAS) token instead for fine-grained control with policies. There are certain risks in allowing the account key to be stored as a flowfile attribute. While it does provide for a more flexible flow by allowing the account key to be fetched dynamically from a flow file attribute, care must be taken to restrict access to the event provenance data (e.g. by strictly controlling the policies governing provenance for this Processor). In addition, the provenance repositories may be put on encrypted disk partitions. Sensitive Property: true Supports Expression Language: true (will be evaluated using variable registry only)
SAS Token			Shared Access Signature token, including the leading '?'. Specify either SAS Token (recommended) or Account Key. There are certain risks in allowing the SAS token to be stored as a flowfile attribute. While it does provide for a more flexible flow by allowing the account name to be fetched dynamically from a flowfile attribute, care must be taken to restrict access to the event provenance data (e.g. by strictly controlling the policies governing provenance for this Processor). In addition, the provenance repositories may be put on encrypted disk partitions. Sensitive Property: true Supports Expression Language: true (will be evaluated using variable registry only)
Queue Name			Name of the Azure Storage Queue Supports Expression Language: true (will be evaluated using variable registry only)
Auto Delete Messages	true	* true * false	Specifies whether the received message is to be automatically deleted from the queue.
Batch Size	32		The number of messages to be retrieved from the queue.
Visibility Timeout	30 secs		The duration during which the retrieved message should be invisible to other consumers.
Proxy Configuration Service		Controller Service API:  ProxyConfigurationService Implementation:  StandardProxyConfigurationService	Specifies the Proxy Configuration Controller Service to proxy network requests. Supported proxies: HTTP, SOCKS
