When I try to create a new Connector using Http connection to Exosite using the same device stream as configured for an iOT Hub connection, I am not allowed to do so.

I get an error message : The connector source is already used by another connector.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,

Source (usually device Tag + Device stream combination) cannot be shared by 2 connectors.

The recommended way forward in that case is to have devices that need to be handled by IoT Hub use a “Destination/IoT Hub” Tag  
and the same devices that need to be handled by the HTTP connector have a “Destination/HTTP” Tag

Then configure the IoT Hub connector with Tag “Destination/IoT Hub” + device stream as a source  
And configure the HTTP connector with Tag “Destination/HTTP” + device stream as a source
