Integrating with SonarQube#

Accessing SonarQube data with the SonarQube integrations.

The SonarQube integration use SonarQube web hooks and to request data that it uses to populate a data set. Like other quality data integrations, this one operates in the reporting-consumer service.

The integration uses REST endpoints and quality data handlers to perform the following steps:

1. Receive a web-hook payload from SonarQube.
2. Request additional SonarQube issues.

3. Make three successive calls to the RE API uploadQualityData endpoint. The calls validate and store data documents, one for each issue category: bugs, code smells, security vulnerabilities.

4. Create a SonarQube instance with properly configured certificates.

5. Create a web hook in SonarQube, Administration > Webhooks, that defines a URL as such: http://<UCV-Reporting-Consumer\>/pluginEndpoint/<Integration-ID\>/sonarqube/callback.

When you run a SonarQube job against the instance, it performs the specified workflow.
