Hi&nbsp;[@sujit\_k\_singh](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/67382)

Overall, Dynatrace is easy to integrate into Azure DevOps. You have it described here: [Azure DevOps: Get started integrating Dynatrace into your release pipelines](https://www.dynatrace.com/news/blog/get-started-integrating-dynatrace-in-your-azure-devops-release-pipelines/)

However, when it comes to monitoring, in my opinion you are left with pulling information from Azure via the Rest API and using the [Dynatrace Metrics Ingest Api](https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/dynatrace-api/environment-api/metric-v2/post-ingest-metrics) to put this data into Dynatrace.

Just as Radek answered, first, we can&nbsp;[setup Azure DevOps to send Dynatrace information events](https://www.dynatrace.com/news/blog/get-started-integrating-dynatrace-in-your-azure-devops-release-pipelines/)&nbsp;and [Azure DevOps metrics to the Dynatrace API](https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/dynatrace-api/environment-api/metric-v2/post-ingest-metrics) so the context is in Dynatrace and in any problem that could be detected and for dashboarding. A few informational event examples include,&nbsp;when new builds have completed or failed, tests have completed or failed and when new releases are deployed. Next, we can [trigger an on demand Dynatrace synthetic monitor to run functional tests](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtdDnd9p5RQ&ab_channel=Dynatrace) as part of an Azure DevOps pipeline by calling the API. Then, we can [call the Dynatrace Site Reliability Guardian from Azure DevOps](https://github.com/Dynatrace/dynatrace-automation-tools/tree/main/docs/Site-Reliability-Guardian/example-pipelines/AzureDevOps) after the tests run to validate the reliability prior to promoting the release.
