Azure Databricks External location with Enable File Events using custom azure storage queue

[RamenBhar]

Hi 

I have found that there are few issues with this feature. 

1. To make it work you need to first use 'Automatic' as the value of 'File event type'. Then put the correct value of 'Resource Group' and 'Subscription id'. If you select 'Provided' as the first option and provide the queue path, it will not work.

2. Lets say you have selected 'Automatic' as the first option and then select 'Provided' along with the queue url and saved it. Now if you comeback and click by clicking 'Edit' button then you will see its back to 'Automatic' again.

Does anyone have any solution for the above or we should not use it?

Many thanks.

Hello @RamenBhar 

I tried to implement the same, happens to me exactly what you have said. 

For now move towards automatic only because its recommended 

Also, there is workaround for this you can find the same over here. someone has posted the solution on our community page.
