+
+## Examples
+
+Using Connection String:
+
+```yaml
+exporters:
+  azureeventhubs:
+    auth:
+      type: connection_string
+      connection_string: "Endpoint=sb://my-namespace.servicebus.windows.net/;SharedAccessKeyName=RootManageSharedAccessKey;SharedAccessKey=my-key"
+    event_hub:
+      logs: "otel-logs"
+      metrics: "otel-metrics"
+      traces: "otel-traces"
+    format: json
+    partition_key:
+      source: trace_id
+    max_event_size: 1048576
+    batch_size: 100
+```
+
+Using Entra ID Service Principal:
+
+```yaml
+exporters:
+  azureeventhubs:
+    namespace: "my-namespace.servicebus.windows.net"
+    auth:
+      type: service_principal
+      tenant_id: "your-tenant-id"
+      client_id: "your-client-id"
+      client_secret: "your-client-secret"
+    event_hub:
+      logs: "otel-logs"
+      metrics: "otel-metrics"
+      traces: "otel-traces"
+    format: proto
+    partition_key:
+      source: resource_attribute
+      value: "service.name"
+```
+
+Using Managed Identity (system-assigned):
+
+```yaml
+exporters:
+  azureeventhubs:
+    namespace: "my-namespace.servicebus.windows.net"
+    auth:
+      type: system_managed_identity
+    event_hub:
+      logs: "otel-logs"
+      metrics: "otel-metrics"
+      traces: "otel-traces"
+    format: json
+    partition_key:
+      source: random
+```
+
+Using Managed Identity (user-assigned):
+
+```yaml
+exporters:
+  azureeventhubs:
+    namespace: "my-namespace.servicebus.windows.net"
+    auth:
+      type: user_managed_identity
+      client_id: "your-managed-identity-client-id"
+    event_hub:
+      logs: "otel-logs"
+      metrics: "otel-metrics"
+      traces: "otel-traces"
+```
+
+Using Workload Identity (for Kubernetes):
+
+```yaml
+exporters:
+  azureeventhubs:
+    namespace: "my-namespace.servicebus.windows.net"
+    auth:
+      type: workload_identity
+      tenant_id: "your-tenant-id"
+      client_id: "your-client-id"
+      federated_token_file: "/var/run/secrets/azure/tokens/azure-identity-token"
+    event_hub:
+      logs: "otel-logs"
+      metrics: "otel-metrics"
+      traces: "otel-traces"
+```
+
+Using DefaultAzureCredential:
+
+```yaml
+exporters:
+  azureeventhubs:
+    namespace: "my-namespace.servicebus.windows.net"
+    auth:
+      type: default_credentials
+    event_hub:
+      logs: "otel-logs"
+      metrics: "otel-metrics"
+      traces: "otel-traces"
+```
+
+## Data Export
+
+This exporter sends telemetry data to Azure Event Hubs with support for different data formats and partitioning strategies.
+
+### Data Formats
+
+The exporter supports two data formats:
+
+- `json`: Telemetry data is encoded as JSON (default)
+- `proto`: Telemetry data is encoded using Protocol Buffers
+
+### Partition Key Strategies
+
+The exporter supports different partition key strategies to control how data is distributed across Event Hub partitions:
+
+- `static`: Uses a fixed partition key value
+- `resource_attribute`: Uses the value of a specified resource attribute
+- `trace_id`: Uses the trace ID from the telemetry data (traces and logs only)
+- `span_id`: Uses the span ID from the telemetry data (traces only)
+- `random`: Generates a random partition key for even distribution across partitions
+
+### Event Hub Routing
+
+By default, telemetry data is routed to different Event Hubs based on signal type:
+
+- Logs → `logs` Event Hub
+- Metrics → `metrics` Event Hub
+- Traces → `traces` Event Hub
+
+These can be customized using the `event_hub` configuration options.
+
+## Authentication
+
+The exporter supports multiple authentication methods:
+
+- `connection_string`: Uses a connection string to authenticate (recommended for development)
+- `service_principal`: Uses Azure AD service principal authentication
+- `system_managed_identity`: Uses system-assigned managed identity
+- `user_managed_identity`: Uses user-assigned managed identity
+- `workload_identity`: Uses workload identity (for Kubernetes environments)
+- `default_credentials`: Uses DefaultAzureCredential which tries multiple authentication methods
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Event Hubs must exist before starting the collector
+- The authentication principal must have "Azure Event Hubs Data Sender" role on the Event Hubs
+- Maximum event size is 1MB for Event Hubs Standard tier
