Exclude issues by severity

SonarQube Server / Community Build
,
1

Hello, as part of the suggested workaround to not being able to disable rule in inherited profiles (Extended Quality profile has no option to deactivate rules - #6 by ganncamp), I am using an inherited profile with undesired rules changed to to status “INFO”.

My team has a goal of no open issues. I would prefer not to have to tell developers “a project is actually clean, just don’t look at INFOs”. The workaround suggests periodic scrub of the INFO issues.

Is there an option I could use, possibly through sonar-scanner or sonar-project.properties file so that INFO issues are not added to the server view in the first place?

Thank you!

Hey there.

You can Exclude specific rules from specific files, but that will require maintaining a list of those rules you want to have excluded.

And, I’m curious why this is your goal:

Rather than say, having a Maintainability/Security/Reliability Rating of A. How are your Quality Gates configured?
