    Key Features

    • Pipeline Management: Retrieve details of all pipelines or a specific pipeline within an Azure DevOps project.
    • Run Management: Initiate pipeline runs and retrieve information about specific runs or a list of runs (up to 10,000).
    • Log Management: Access detailed logs and individual log objects associated with pipeline runs.
    • Artifact Management: Retrieve artifacts generated by pipeline runs for further use or analysis.
    • Utility Actions: Attach log or artifact files directly to ServiceNow records to maintain comprehensive records and facilitate collaboration.

    Requirements and Setup

    • Integration Hub Subscription: Required to use this spoke.
    • Compatibility: Built for Azure DevOps Pipelines REST API version 7.0 and Azure DevOps Server 2022; may support later versions.
    • Installation: Install the Microsoft Azure DevOps Pipelines spoke plugin and ensure dependent plugins are installed. Some dependencies may require additional licensing.
    • Configuration: Generate a personal access token in Azure DevOps and set up the spoke alias on the ServiceNow instance.
    • Connection and Credential Management: Use Integration Hub aliases to manage connection and credential information efficiently, simplifying updates across multiple environments without modifying individual actions.

    Practical Benefits

    By integrating Azure DevOps Pipelines with ServiceNow, customers can automate pipeline workflows directly from ServiceNow, streamline pipeline monitoring, and centralize artifact and log management. This reduces manual intervention, accelerates DevOps processes, and enhances traceability by linking pipeline outputs to ServiceNow records.

    The Microsoft Azure DevOps Pipelines spoke enables you to automate your work on pipelines on Azure DevOps. Create a flow with the actions that automate your work on Azure DevOps. For example, create a flow that automates the retrieval of the details of logs for a pipeline.

    Spoke actions

    The Microsoft Azure DevOps spoke provides actions to automate Azure DevOps Pipelines' tasks when events occur in your ServiceNow instance. Available actions include:

    Note:
    To execute the actions, you must first set up an outbound integration by configuring the Microsoft Azure DevOps Pipelines spoke connection and credential record.
    Category Action Description
    Pipeline Management Look up Pipelines Stream​ Retrieves the details of all pipelines such as ID and name for an Azure DevOps project.
    Look up Pipeline Retrieves the details of a pipeline such as the ID and name of the pipeline.
    Run Management Run Pipeline​ Runs a pipeline based on the details you specify.
    Look up Run​ Retrieves details of a run such as name and ID for a pipeline.
    Look up Runs Retrieves the list of the top 10000 runs such as name and ID for a pipeline.
    Log Management Look up Logs Retrieves the details of all logs such as URL and signed content for a corresponding pipeline run.
    Look up Log Retrieves the details of a log object such as ID and URL for a corresponding pipeline run.
    Artifact Management Look up Artifact​ Retrieves an artifact object from a pipeline run.
    Utility Actions Attach File to ServiceNow Record​ Attaches the log or artifact file to a ServiceNow record.

    Connection and credential alias requirements

    Integration Hub uses aliases to manage connection and credential information, and OAuth credentials. Using an alias eliminates the need to configure multiple credentials and connection information profiles when using multiple environments. If the connection or credential information changes, you don't need to update any actions that use the connection.
