Counting the current number of IoT Hub messages and devices

Microsoft provides SDKs for both building IoT devices and accessing the IoT Hub (based on several programming languages).

Regarding the IoT Hub, with the SDK you are able to eg. register and control devices.

Still, some actions are possible with the IoT Hub which is not supported by the SDK.

For those actions, Microsoft supports an IoTHub Rest API which extends the capabilities of the SDK.

In the past, I demonstrated how to work with C2D messages using the REST API.

A few days back, I came along with this MS Learn question about IoT Hub message counts. This also has to be tackled by the REST API.

Let’s see how.
