Hello, please have a look at the documentation [here](https://docs.sonarqube.org/latest/analysis/external-issues/).

You would need to generate a pylint report in xml format by using `--output-format=parseable` option.  
Then, you need to define the following property in SonarQube:

`sonar.python.pylint.reportPaths=path/to/pylint/report`

Hope that helps,  
Andrea
