How are external issues categorized on sonar dashboards?

Hi there,
We are working on integrating android lint reports with sonarqube. And noticed that a lot of the issues would be reported as minor issues. Is there a reference for how does Sonar server resolve external issues and the associated severity?

Hey @sonardroid

It’s not particularly well documented, but in the code of the analyzer you can find the mapping.

I’ll check to see if this is something we want to integrate into our docs – it could get a bit tricky to do so for all external analyzers we support, but perhaps worth it.

Are you really questioning if documenting your product is worth it?

This is needlessly agressive, sorry about that.

Thanks for calling this out, @Philippe_Formulain.

As Colin mentioned, there are so many use-cases, that we first try to evaluate what to document, or face an overly extensive set of descriptions everywhere. We sometimes don’t know what’s useful and it’s helpful when you bring items like this to our attention :folded_hands:

I created a Docs ticket and our team will figure out where to work it in to the Analyzer docs :slight_smile:
