Replace Signal R with Azure Signal R #9976

Angular .NET Core 9.3

Looks like I cant connect to Azure Signal R via the web host. Still trying to connect to localhost?

Is there anything you think is missing? I even tried removing MapHub via UseEndpoints and moved them to UseAzureSignalR (not that I should need to do this?)

Thanks!

    Any idea why its using localhost rather than the actual Azure service? I thought it was automatic?

    Hi @devinedon,

    Did you correctly configure your appsettings.json (or appsettings.Production.json) file and your Angular app's appconfig.production.json ? It should contain the correct URL for your deployed app.

    Hey,

    What config are you talking about?

    services.AddSignalR().AddAzureSignalR(_appConfiguration.GetValue<string>("Azure:SignalR:ConnectionString"));
    

    My setup is now setup like this

      "Azure": {
        "SignalR": {
          "ConnectionString": "Endpoint=https://synap-staging-signalr-service.service.signalr.net;AccessKey=abcdef=;Version=1.0;"
        }
      },
    

    However its still using localhost?

    Even adding the exact Azure Signal R Service sample code (const connection) shows localhost too (via the console.log)

    This is why I'm confused, its the same as this....

    Assuming you are using the Angular front end. What do you have in your package.json for signalr.

    I am using "@microsoft/signalr": "^5.0.1",

    Everything just works for me.

    Also @ismcagdas is talking about the config files in the angular folder not on the server. They shouldn't matter too much however if you can login correctly.

    Hi @devinedon

    Could you go to SignalRHelper.ts and change remoteServiceBaseUrl to Azure SignalR url ?

    Hey,

    Similar outcome. Is the handshaking logic similar? Surely there is more to all this?

    Hey @devinedon,

    Undo those changes in the SignalR helper.

    What happens is the client code makes a call to https://youapisite/signalr/negotiate?enc_auth_token=bigtokenhere&negotiateVersion=1

    This is an API in the the host site that then returns a payload which contains the URL to use. In my case something like this.

    { accessToken: xxxx, availableTransports: [], negotiateVersion: 0, url: "https://myazure.signalr.net/client/etcetcetc }

    I assume if you use the network tab in the browser debug tools you are seeing this API return localhost for you.

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-signalr/signalr-concept-internals

    This negotiate endpoint is exposed by registering the AzureSignalR correctly on the server.

    From the looks of your startup.cs it looks to be the same as mine (I'm on V10 so some small differences but have been using Azure SignalR since v7).

    I would be confirming that the API project that your front end code is calling is the same host backend that you have your configured startup.cs in. Eg: Somehow you don't have two API hosts running in the backend.

    Also confirm in the appsettings.json in your host project that you have "AllowAnonymousSignalRConnection": "true"

    Not sure that will make a difference but it does affect the security of the call to the /signalr endpoint.

    Hope that gets you in the right direction.

    It really does look like something is not registering on the server correctly and thus the negotiate call is not returning the right data.

    Hey @rickfrankel

    Thanks for the awesome info!

    So what you said got me digging into the service mode. What is yours? Default, serverless, classic?

    In Serverless: Azure SignalR Service is not connected yet, please try again later.

    In Default Connection count reaches limit.

    However, surely Serverless is the correct approach if I plan on utilizing an Azure Function to push messages (IoT device telemetry messages) as well, outside of the web host?

    ...Im now starting to think not, 2 seperate Azure Signal R resources. One default for abp and a serverless for azure function?

    EDIT:

    Its working! However, needs to be in classic mode. Azure functions need to be set in serverless mode. Trigger off say a cosmosdb insert, would love to utilize appnotifier to push deviceeventdata through the system.

    If you dont mind explaining your Azure Signal R setup - Settings and how you are pushing messages outside the web.host that would be greatly appreciated. I want to try utilize the core libs (abp framework in general) as much as possible without bringing in too much of my own code hence why pushing on with this.

    Hi All,

    Sorry been busy actually release our version 10 upgrade to production over the weekend. All looks finally to be stable so hopefully if Monday goes through smoothly I'll come back in the next day or so with our SignalR details.

    Just for reference I am using default mode.

    Goodluck for that and thanks for responding guys :)

    Yeah Im still puzzled about how to best push messages into Azure Signal R from outside the web host whilst still using as much of the abp/anz framework/work as possible. I can do it manually but would love to stream line it as best as possible - such as using AppNotifier?

    BTW on default mode it now works with web.host. It might have been me flipping too often and breaking Azure :)

    Hi @devinedon

    Yes, AppNotifier should do it. Did you have any problems while using it ?

    Hey @ismcagdas

    I will demo the process using appNotifier.SendMessageAsync

    I have an Azure function which gets triggered by a cosmosDB changefeed (on insert). This is where I would like to push to the relevent user with information about the relevent IoT Message. The problem comes how to setup Signal R/Azure Signal R within an Azure function and even more so, in order to reuse existing logic and abp modules etc etc.

    As it stands registering Signal R like this wont work based on the Azure function design:

    builder.Services
    .AddSignalR(options => { options.EnableDetailedErrors = true; })
    .AddAzureSignalR(options => options.Endpoints = new ServiceEndpoint[]
    {
        new ServiceEndpoint(_appConfiguration["Azure:SignalR:PrimaryConnectionString"], EndpointType.Primary, "Name1"),
        new ServiceEndpoint(_appConfiguration["Azure:SignalR:SecondaryConnectionString"], EndpointType.Secondary, "Name2"),
    });
    

    Azure Function : Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.SignalRService is the package that I attempted with [SignalRConnectionInfo(HubName = "chathub")] SignalRConnectionInfo connectionInfo - https://github.com/Azure/azure-functions-signalrservice-extension

                        //});
    
                        using (var obj = Startup.iocManager.ResolveAsDisposable<AzFunctionAbpExecuter>())
                        {
                            //await obj.Object.AddNewDeviceEventAppNotifier(deviceData);
    
                            await obj.Object.SendTestMessageAppNotifier();
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
    

    The function above updates a cosmosdb collection and then I would love to push telemetry messages to the UI.

    The ABP module for the Azure Function is defined as

    namespace SynapWare.AzureFunction.IoT
    {
        [DependsOn
            (typeof(AbpZeroCoreEntityFrameworkCoreModule),
            typeof(SynapWareEntityFrameworkCoreModule),
            typeof(AbpAspNetZeroCoreModule),
            typeof(SynapWareCoreModule),
            typeof(SynapWareClientModule), 
            typeof(AbpAutoMapperModule),
            typeof(AbpZeroCoreModule),
            typeof(AbpAspNetCoreSignalRModule))]
        public class SynapWareAzFuncIoTModule : AbpModule
        {
            private readonly IConfigurationRoot _appConfiguration;
            private readonly IServiceCollection _serviceCollection;
    
            public SynapWareAzFuncIoTModule()
            {
                _appConfiguration = Startup._appConfiguration;
                _serviceCollection = Startup.serviceCollection;
            }
    
            public override void PreInitialize()
            {
                Configuration.Localization.IsEnabled = false;
                Configuration.BackgroundJobs.IsJobExecutionEnabled = false;
                Configuration.Modules.AspNetZero().LicenseCode = _appConfiguration["AbpZeroLicenseCode"];
                //set time zone
                Clock.Provider = ClockProviders.Utc;
    
                Configuration.DefaultNameOrConnectionString = _appConfiguration.GetConnectionString(
                SynapWareConsts.ConnectionStringName
                );
    
                Configuration.ReplaceService(typeof(IEventBus), () =>
                {
                    IocManager.IocContainer.Register(
                        Component.For<IEventBus>().Instance(NullEventBus.Instance)
                    );
                });
            }
    
            public override void Initialize()
            {
                IocManager.RegisterAssemblyByConvention(typeof(SynapWareAzFuncIoTModule).GetAssembly());
                Register(IocManager);
            }
    
            public static void Register(IIocManager iocManager)
            {
                var services = new ServiceCollection();
                IdentityRegistrar.Register(services);
                WindsorRegistrationHelper.CreateServiceProvider(iocManager.IocContainer, services);
            }
        }
    }
    

    And finally the AbpExecutor

    namespace SynapWare.AzureFunction.IoT
    {
        public class AzFunctionAbpExecuter : ITransientDependency
        {
            private readonly IRepository<Tenant> _tenantRepository;
            private readonly UserManager _userManager;
            private readonly IAppNotifier _appNotifier;
    
            public AzFunctionAbpExecuter(IRepository<Tenant> tenantRepository, IAppNotifier appNotifier, UserManager userManager)
            {
                _tenantRepository = tenantRepository;
                _appNotifier = appNotifier;
                _userManager = userManager;
            }
    
            public async Task AddNewDeviceEventAppNotifier(SynapWare.CosmosDB.DeviceData data)
            {
                await _appNotifier.NewDeviceEventAsync(data);
            }
    
            public async Task SendTestMessageAppNotifier()
            {
                var user = await _userManager.FindByEmailAsync("[email protected]");
    
                await _appNotifier.SendMessageAsync(
                    user.ToUserIdentifier(), "test", Abp.Notifications.NotificationSeverity.Warn);
            }
        }
    }
    

    The UI updates (with the relevenet db changes) when using await _appNotifier.SendMessageAsyn for example but nothing real time (as signal r not setup or pushed correctly)

    Hi @devinedon

    Is it possible to share your project with us via email ? I think we can find the problem faster when looking into your project. If that's OK, you can send it to [email protected].

    Great stuff, thanks. I will get going and prepare a solution for you. You will need access to an Azure account regarding an Azure Signal R resource so either if you have a dev one to use yours or we can expose ours all already done in the solution.

    In fact the entire process will be easier if you just had full access. Let me get that for you thanks!

    Hey,

    Thanks so much for the kind offer. We have decided to rather push the telemetry messages to the web host using Azure Service Bus and then from there out to all the users via AppNotifier. We are very familiar with Service Bus it and it will streamline better with ABP imo. We also wont need Azure Signal R either.

    Going to close this question. Thanks all.

    Sorry, me again. From a consumer point of view, do you think this is a good idea? https://damienbod.com/2019/04/23/using-azure-service-bus-queues-with-asp-net-core-services/

    Using service bus queues (or event hub) to consume and then make use of AppNotifier (and mobile app push) from within web.host.

    Using background tasks with hosted services in ASP.NET Core it works well. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/fundamentals/host/hosted-services?view=aspnetcore-5.0&tabs=visual-studio
