Microsoft Azure DevOps Pipelines Spoke
Summarize
Summary of Microsoft Azure DevOps Pipelines Spoke
The Microsoft Azure DevOps Pipelines spoke enables ServiceNow customers to automate tasks related to Azure DevOps pipelines by creating flows that integrate pipeline management into their ServiceNow environment. This integration supports automating processes such as retrieving pipeline logs, running pipelines, and managing pipeline artifacts, thereby streamlining DevOps activities within ServiceNow.

Key Features
- Pipeline Management: Retrieve details of pipelines, including pipeline IDs and names, for Azure DevOps projects.
- Run Management: Start pipeline runs and get details or lists of recent pipeline runs.
- Log Management: Access details of logs related to pipeline runs, including URLs and signed content.
- Artifact Management: Retrieve artifacts generated by pipeline runs.
- Utility Actions: Attach log or artifact files directly to ServiceNow records for better traceability.
Practical Requirements and Setup
- An Integration Hub subscription is required to use this spoke.
- The spoke is built for Azure DevOps Pipelines REST API version 7.0 and Azure DevOps Server 2022, with potential compatibility for later versions.
- Necessary components include personal access tokens generated in Azure DevOps, configuration of the Microsoft Azure DevOps Pipelines alias in ServiceNow, and installation of the spoke plugin along with its dependencies.
- Dependencies include specific ServiceNow plugins that may require additional licensing if used outside this spoke.
- To use actions, users must configure an outbound integration by setting up the connection and credential record via the spoke's alias system, which simplifies credential management across environments and updates.
Key Outcomes
By implementing the Microsoft Azure DevOps Pipelines spoke within ServiceNow, customers can automate and streamline Azure DevOps pipeline operations directly through ServiceNow workflows. This reduces manual intervention, improves operational efficiency, and provides a unified platform for managing DevOps pipeline data and artifacts alongside IT service management processes.
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:
| 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.
