Change default period deleting inactive analysis

SonarQube Cloud
1

Hi there,

We integrated SonarCloud in our CI/CD pipeline, which works like a charm. However, we have a lot of branches due to the number of times per day we kick off our pipeline. The default period that a short-lived branch and Pull Request is deleted after inactivity is 30 days.

I can’t seem to find a setting to change this value in SonarCloud. A week would be much more convenient for us, and we don’t get so many cluttered branches. I tried adding and setting the

sonar.dbcleaner.daysBeforeDeletingInactiveShortLivingBranches

paramater to the sonar-project.properties file in our project, but that doesn’t seem to do anything.

Is there a way to change the default inactive-deletion period when working with SonarCloud?

Hi Michael,

indeed, I agree with you that you should definitely be able to configure this value at organization level. However, this feature is missing, but fortunately tracked on this ticket: MMF-1650. I’ve referenced your use-case on this. And before you ask :wink: : I can’t give any ETA on this - but this is definitely in our radar.

Thanks for your feedback!
