Hello,
I am currently using an Event Grid topic to send events to my Azure Function App, and everything is working correctly — I can send events to the topic using the endpoint and access key, and the Function App receives and handles the events successfully.
However, I am unable to locate the corresponding Event Grid Topic resource in the Azure Portal.
I have tried the following:
Searching for the topic name directly in “All Resources”
Browsing all Event Grid Topics in the portal
Listing topics via Azure CLI (az eventgrid topic list)
Checking for event subscriptions bound to the function (az eventgrid event-subscription list)
Validating subscription filters and access permissions
Nothing shows up for this topic in any of those views, even though I can confirm it is actively functioning.
Could you help identify:
Why I am unable to see this Event Grid Topic resource?
Which resource group or subscription it belongs to?
How I can gain visibility or manage it properly?
Thank you!

Since the topic is functioning but not visible through the portal or CLI, could you confirm if this Event Grid Topic was possibly created through an Azure service integration (like Storage, Key Vault, etc.)? That would indicate it’s a system topic, which might not appear in the regular topic listings.

These register Event Grid Namespace Topics as port of their resource.
You can find them under the menu Event Broker | Topics:
