How to stop Azure Event Hubs service?

Question

Is there an ability to stop/start Azure Event Hubs service manually? The primary goal is to stress test our services under the condition of Event Hubs service being down, but one can obviously think of other use cases.

Answer 1

Couple of options for testing error cases.

1. Block.network connection by firewall rules. This is a good way to simulate a service-down incident case.

2. You can disable eventhub and re-enable it back.
