Introduction
SonarQube is an automatic code review tool to detect bugs, vulnerabilities, and code smells in your code. It can integrate with your existing workflow to enable continuous code inspection across your project branches and pull requests.

As of version 2.8.4, ThreadFix uses this endpoint to check system version before assigning issue types upon import.
SonarQube Version Compatibility
When importing SonarQube scans from version 6 and 8 instances, please note the Security Hotspot type is unavailable in version 6 and has been removed from version 8. As such, only the Vulnerability type is available.
Configuring the Remote Provider Integration
The following are the fields needed to create the Remote Provider integration with your SonarQube instance:
Organization
SonarCloud Instance
In SonarCloud, the Organization may appear as the "Key" value (e.g., in the top right), though the URL shows it as the Organization ...e.g., https://sonarcloud.io/organizations/<Organization>/projects
On-Prem Instance
In an on-prem instance of SonarQube, you may need to obtain the Organization value via API, as the Organization value may not appear in the UI.:
Use the following Postman collection:
In the collection, you will find two calls SQ_Login and SQ_ProjectSearch. Please follow these steps in order to run the collection.
In both SQ_Login and SQ_ProjectSearch, update the url to point to your SonarQube instance.
Update both the login and password parameters for SQ_Login
Run SQ_Login
Run SQ_ProjectSearch
The SQ_ProjectSearch will mimic a similar call ThreadFix uses to fetch the projects from SonarQube. In the response you should see a response similar to:
{ "paging": { "pageIndex": 1, "pageSize": 100, "total": 1 }, "components": [ { "organization": "default-organization", "key": "ThreadFix-2.8.1.2", "name": "ThreadFix", "qualifier": "TRK", "visibility": "public", "lastAnalysisDate": "2020-08-05T19:54:48+0000", "revision": "d7378896ab3c38954d310e5b473684062358471e" } ] }
Use the “organization” value in the JSON response for the “Organization” field in the Remote Provider page.
