HI Team,

In our Project we are using the Standard azure IOT hub with 4lac messages per day capacity.

while receiving the data form device, we are seeing the duplicate data in our Azure data explorer (ADX)

with same timestamp but different values.

can you please clarify azure IOT hub can create the duplicate value? while receiving the data from device.

Can you please answer my question.

Thanks & Regards,

Mahesh.Kattekola.

    Hello @Kattekola Mahesh ,

    welcome to this moderated Azure community forum.

    As seen in the documentation, you can expect duplicate messages:

    IoT Hub implements at least once delivery guarantees for both device-to-cloud and cloud-to-device messaging

    I've not seen this behaviour much but you need to prepare for this situation.

    Check out this documentation describing multiple (5) methods to handle duplicate data.

    An alternative is putting a Stream Analytics job in between the Azure IoT Hub and Azure Data Explorer with a job ignoring duplicate data.
