Event Grid custom topic
Event Grid custom topic is a user-created Azure Event Grid topic that gives custom applications an endpoint for publishing business or application events. In Azure, it shows up when custom applications publish shipment, order, payment, device, or workflow events that subscribers need to process independently. Teams use it to review topic name, region, access keys or managed identity options, input schema, event subscriptions, filters, retry policy, dead-letter destination, and monitoring before changing production behavior. It is not an Azure system topic, Event Grid domain, Event Hub, or Service Bus topic.

Event Grid dead-letter destination
Event Grid dead-letter destination is a storage destination used by Azure Event Grid for events that cannot be delivered after retry or configuration handling. In Azure, it shows up when an event subscription needs a recoverable place for undelivered events instead of silently losing operational evidence. Teams use it to review event subscription dead-letter settings, storage account, blob container, identity or access method, retry policy, monitoring, retention, and processing runbook before changing production behavior. It is not a Service Bus dead-letter queue, handler retry loop, poison-message table, or general logging sink.

Event Grid delivery retry
Event Grid delivery retry is the Event Grid behavior that retries event delivery when a subscriber endpoint temporarily fails or returns retryable responses. In Azure, it shows up when handlers may be unavailable, slow, throttled, or temporarily blocked, but events still need controlled redelivery before dead-lettering or expiration. Teams use it to review maximum delivery attempts, event time-to-live, endpoint response behavior, dead-letter destination, subscription filters, monitoring, and handler readiness before changing production behavior. It is not application-level retry code, Service Bus lock renewal, Event Hubs checkpointing, or a guaranteed infinite replay mechanism.

Event Grid delivery schema
Event Grid delivery schema is the event format Azure Event Grid uses when sending an event to a subscriber endpoint. In Azure, it shows up when publishers and handlers must agree on whether delivered events use Event Grid schema, CloudEvents v1.0, or a custom input schema shape. Teams use it to review event subscription delivery schema, publisher input schema, handler parser, API contract, sample payloads, validation tests, filters, and compatibility monitoring before changing production behavior. It is not the handler destination type, the event source, a JSON schema registry, or the business data model itself.

Event Grid domain
Event Grid domain is an Event Grid resource that provides one publishing endpoint for many related domain topics in a large or multi-tenant event solution. In Azure, it shows up when a platform needs to manage thousands of related topics, tenant-specific subscriptions, or application-specific event streams without creating unrelated standalone topics. Teams use it to review domain endpoint, domain topics, access keys or identity controls, event subscriptions, RBAC, filters, publishing application logic, metrics, and tenant ownership model before changing production behavior. It is not a DNS custom domain, Event Grid namespace custom hostname, single custom topic, or Service Bus namespace.

Event Grid event handler
Event Grid event handler is the destination endpoint or Azure service that receives matching events from an Event Grid event subscription and acts on them. In Azure, it shows up when an event-driven workflow needs a function, logic app, webhook, queue, topic, event hub, storage queue, relay connection, or namespace topic to process events. Teams use it to review handler type, endpoint URL or resource ID, authentication method, validation handshake, managed identity permissions, retry behavior, dead-lettering, monitoring, and scaling plan before changing production behavior. It is not the event publisher, Event Grid topic, event schema, or the business event itself.

Event Grid event schema
Event Grid event schema is the JSON structure used to describe an Event Grid event, including metadata and the event data payload sent to subscribers. In Azure, it shows up when publishers, subscribers, filters, and handlers need a shared contract for fields such as id, subject, event type, event time, data, and versioning. Teams use it to review publisher payload format, custom topic input schema, subscription delivery schema, event type names, subject conventions, dataVersion, sample payloads, and handler parser tests before changing production behavior. It is not a database schema, full OpenAPI definition, handler endpoint, or Event Grid subscription.

Event Grid filter
Event Grid filter is the matching configuration on an Event Grid event subscription that decides which events are delivered to a handler. In Azure, it shows up when subscribers should receive only relevant events based on event type, subject prefix or suffix, or advanced fields inside the event payload. Teams use it to review included event types, subject begins-with and ends-with filters, advanced filters, case sensitivity, schema field names, test payloads, and monitoring for matched events before changing production behavior. It is not a firewall rule, diagnostic query, handler-side if statement, or Azure Policy filter.

Event Grid managed identity delivery
Event Grid managed identity delivery is the pattern where Event Grid uses a managed identity on a topic, domain, or system topic to authenticate event delivery to supported destinations. In Azure, it shows up when teams want to deliver events to Azure destinations without storing destination keys or embedding secrets in event subscription configuration. Teams use it to review system-assigned or user-assigned identity, Event Grid topic or domain identity settings, destination RBAC role assignments, delivery identity settings, dead-letter identity settings, and monitoring before changing production behavior.

Event Grid MQTT broker
An Event Grid MQTT broker is the MQTT publish-subscribe capability in Event Grid namespaces that authenticates clients, authorizes publish and subscribe requests, and routes MQTT messages between interested clients. Teams use it to connect MQTT clients, devices, and services through managed publish-subscribe messaging without running a separate broker platform. It is not a general Event Grid custom topic or an IoT Hub device registry replacement.

Policy event
A policy event is a record or notification that something changed in Azure Policy evaluation. It can tell you that a resource became compliant, became non-compliant, or had a policy state created or removed. Instead of waiting for someone to refresh a portal report, teams can query policy events or route state-change events through Event Grid. For operators, this makes policy activity visible close to the time it happens, so compliance changes can trigger alerts, tickets, evidence capture, or remediation workflows.
