Connecting Azure DevOps

Step-by-step guide to connecting Azure DevOps

This guide walks you through connecting Azure DevOps to Kosmos.

Kosmos connects to Azure DevOps Boards to sync work items — bugs, tasks, stories, features, and other issue types — as signals for correlation.

Prerequisites

  • An Azure DevOps account with access to the organization you want to sync

  • Admin access to Kosmos to configure the integration

Step 1: Start the Connection

  1. In Kosmos, navigate to Settings → Integrations

  2. Find the Azure DevOps card and click Connect

  3. A dialog appears asking for your Azure DevOps organization name

Step 2: Enter Your Organization Name

Enter your Azure DevOps organization name — this is the name that appears in your URL at dev.azure.com/{organization}.

For example, if your Azure DevOps URL is https://dev.azure.com/contoso, enter contoso.

Click Continue to proceed.

Step 3: Authorize via Microsoft Entra ID

  1. You'll be redirected to Microsoft to authorize the connection

  2. Sign in with your Microsoft account if prompted

  3. Review the requested permissions and click Accept

  4. You'll be returned to Kosmos with the connection established

Azure DevOps access tokens expire approximately every hour. Kosmos automatically refreshes them in the background — you won't need to reconnect.

Step 4: Configure Sync Settings

After connecting, you can configure which data Kosmos syncs:

Projects Select the specific Azure DevOps projects you want Kosmos to analyze. Leave the selection empty to sync all projects in your organization.

Work Item Types Choose which work item types to include (e.g., Bug, Task, Story, Feature, Epic). By default, all types are synced.

Additional options:

  • Sync Comments — Include work item comments for deeper context in correlations

  • Sync Links — Include linked work items to surface related issues

Click Save Settings when done.

Step 5: Verify the Connection

Once saved, Kosmos begins syncing work items from your Azure DevOps organization.

Navigate to the Signals tab to confirm work items are flowing in from your connected organization.

Revoking Access

From Kosmos: Settings → Integrations → Azure DevOps → Disconnect

From Microsoft: My Apps → Find the Kosmos app → Remove access, or via your Azure Entra ID admin portal

Data Access

For details on what Kosmos reads from Azure DevOps, see Integration Permissions.

All access is read-only. Kosmos never creates, updates, or deletes any records in your Azure DevOps organization.
