I try to add my tflint issues to sonarqube. According to [the docs](https://docs.sonarqube.org/latest/analyzing-source-code/importing-external-issues/importing-third-party-issues/#:~:text=in%20JSON%20format-,Terraform,-sonar.terraform.tfLint) , I have to add the sonar.terraform.tfLint.reportPaths to the config.

But when I do something like  
`sonar-scanner -Dsonar.projectKey=test -Dsonar.terraform.tfLint.reportPaths=tflint.json`  
noting will appear in sonarqube.  
When using the -X parameter, I dont see any reference to this functionality.

How can I get this working?

sonar-scanner version: 4.8.0.2856 (afiak the latest)  
sonarqube server: 10.1

Hi @ericrichter ,

we identified that the issue was within the [documentation](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube/latest/analyzing-source-code/importing-external-issues/importing-third-party-issues/#:~:text=in%20JSON%20format-,Terraform,-sonar.terraform.tflint), which is now fixed.

The appropriate flag to include terraform reports is:

```auto
-Dsonar.terraform.tflint.reportPaths=tflint.json

```

Please let us know if you are now able to import the report.  
Thanks again for reporting this issue.

Best,  
Jonas
