Azure DevOps deployment pipeline

The Azure DevOps deployment integration enables you to forward release and pipeline deployment events to ilert, creating a richer incident timeline that reflects code pushes, releases, and environment changes. Deployment pipelines organize your Azure DevOps events and connect them to alert sources – offering clear context that accelerates root cause analysis and supports change accountability.

Setting up

Creating your deployment pipeline in ilert

In any way, a pipeline is required, which will also generate a new integrationKey required to route deployment events when they occur. Head to your ilert account and navigate to Alert sources -> Deployment events.

Head over to the deployment pipelines tab and click on Create new pipeline.

Provide a name for your pipeline.

Optional: If you are going to manage branch-specific deployments, choose the branches in the branch filter section for which you would like to create deployment events in ilert.

In any way, by clicking on Create, you should end up on the detail view of your Azure DevOps deployment pipeline.

Providing you with a freshly generated integrationKey and copy & pastable URL ready for your webhook setup.

Creating a service hook in Azure DevOps

In your Azure DevOps project, open Project settings.

In the sidebar, select Service hooks and click Create subscription.

Choose Web Hooks and click Next.

Select the Trigger (for example, Work item updated, Build completed, Code pushed) and configure Filters to reduce noise.

In URL, paste the ilert Integration URL you created earlier.

Click Finish to save the subscription.

You are now all set and should see deployment events coming into your ilert account.
