Azure DevOps Status Monitor

The simple extension quietly sits in the Visual Studio status bar displaying Azure DevOps Service status. You can click on the icon on the Visual Studio status bar to view more details. You can also jump directly to Status Portal or Status History from the popup tooltip.

By default it fetches the status every 5 minutes, but you can configure it under Tools | Options in Visual Studio.

Troubleshoot

Issue: Status icon not visible in the status bar
