I created an Azure function in Visual studio 2017 with Cosmos DB Trigger. In local.setting.json it asks me for three things and I am puzzled about the first two.

AzureWebJobsStorage and AzureWebJobsDashboard

Where do I find these two? I have been watching some tutorial videos and it seems a little bit difficult to know which information I should rely on. In one video, one has shown that I go to my Portal/FunctionApp/MyFunction/ApplicationSetting and there I can find them. I have tried that and I only could find AzureWebJobsStorage Another has shown that I can go to my Portal/StorageAccount/MyStorage/AccessKeys and I only can see the information that are in the picture I have attached. In that video I saw that the guy used the exact same key for both of these properties(or whatever they are called) which none of them ended with EndpointSuffix=core.windows.net and my both keys in the picture end with this phrase.

  1. I hope I make sense about what I am looking for.
  2. I also hope someone can help me to know which is which and why there is EndpointSuffix=core.windows.net at the end of my keys, and if there should be, and are these two keys the same?

1.Yes, the picture(Connection string) you attached is the value for AzureWebJobsStorage and AzureWebJobsDashboard

2.EndpointSuffix=core.windows.net, it's a path means that the blob / queue etc. path on azure storage, cause some queue/blob triggers in the azure function or some logs will stored in the blob. Details are here.

There are 2 keys there, it's just for backup / security reason. If one of your key is exposed, you can use another key. More details are here.
