Is it possible to create a custom rule in sonarcloud ?

Hey there.

Custom rules are not possible (either by custom plugin development or rule templates). It is possible to import [Generic Issue Data](https://docs.sonarcloud.io/enriching/generic-issue-data/) and/or [External Analyzer Reports](https://docs.sonarcloud.io/enriching/external-analyzer-reports/) (those tools might give you the ability to raise issues in a format that can be read by SonarCloud)
