SonarQube API Import

All parsers which using API have common basic configuration step but with different values. Please, read these steps at first.

In Tool Configuration, select Tool Type to “SonarQube” and Authentication Type “API Key”. Note the url must be in the format of https://<sonarqube_host>/api Paste your SonarQube API token in the “API Key” field. By default the tool will import vulnerabilities issues and security hotspots only, but additional filters can be setup using the Extras field separated by commas (e.g. BUG,VULNERABILITY,CODE_SMELL). When using SonarCloud, you must also specify the Organization ID in the Extras field as follows OrgID=sonarcloud-organzation-ID. If also specifying issue type filters, please seperate the items in the Extras field by a vertical bar as follows BUG,VULNERABILITY,CODE_SMELL|OrgID=sonarcloud-organzation-ID

In “Add API Scan Configuration”

• Service key 1 must be the SonarQube project key, which can be found by navigating to a specific project and selecting the value from the url https://<sonarqube_host>/dashboard?id=key. When you do not provide a SonarQube project key, DefectDojo will use the name of the Product as the project key in SonarQube. If you would like to import findings from multiple projects, you can specify multiple keys as separated API Scan Configuration in the Product settings.
• If using SonarCloud, the orginization ID can be used from step 1, but it can be overiden by supplying a different orginization ID in the Service key 2 input field.

Multiple SonarQube API Configurations

In the import or re-import dialog you can select which API Scan Configuration shall be used. If you do not choose any, DefectDojo will use the API Scan Configuration of the Product if there is only one defined or the SonarQube Tool Configuration if there is only one.

Multi Branch Scanning

If using a version of SonarQube with multi branch scanning, the branch tha be scanned can be supplied in the branch tag fieild at import/re-import time. If the branch does not exist, a notification will be generated in the alerts table indicating that branch to be imported does not exist. If a branch name is not supplied during import/re-import, the default branch of the SonarQube project will be used.

Note:: If https is used for the SonarQube, the certificate must be trusted by the DefectDojo instance.
