Instructions
Connecting to your Azure Cosmos DB data requires you to authenticate your REST API access. Follow the instructions below:- Go to your Azure portal homepage: https://portal.azure.com/
- In the search bar at the top of the homepage, enter Azure Cosmos DB. In the dropdown that appears, select Azure Cosmos DB.
- Click on the name of the database account you want to connect to. (Also copy and paste the name of the database account for later use.)
- On the next page where you can see all of the database account information, look along the left side and select Keys.
- On the Keys page, you will have two tabs: Read-write Keys and Read-only Keys. If you are going to write data to your database, you need to remain on the Read-write Keys tab. If you are only going to read data from your database, you should select the Read-only Keys tab.
- On the Keys page, copy the PRIMARY KEY value and paste it somewhere for later use. (The SECONDARY KEY value may also be copied and pasted instead of PRIMARY KEY.)
- Back at the connector screen, enter the primary or secondary key you recorded in step 6 into the Primary or Secondary Key field.
- Enter the database account you recorded in step 3 into the Database Account field.
- Enter or select the default database you want to connect to using the Defualt Database field.
- Enter or select the default table (i.e. container/collection) you want to connect to using the Default Table (Container/Collection) field.
- Select the Test Connection button at the bottom of the window to verify proper connectivity with your Azure Devops account.
- If the connection test succeeds, select OK.
