SonarQube Analysis Delay Issue in Community Edition

[Anjali_Bhat]

Hi,

Recently we have been facing delay issues in Sonar analysis of Community edition while scanning. Specifically whenever a large project is executed typically which would ideally take 5 minutes to get analyzed, we observe the delay in fetching the Quality gates. We are using SonarQube LTA version 9.9 to mitigate this issue we tried to

• increase the resources(CPU and memory limit) for SonarQube
• keep the optimum DB size

If the cause of the delay is due to single worker with a mono thread in the Community Edition because of which runs scans in a sequential manner. As a result, upcoming jobs are put on hold until the large project scan is completed.
Most of the time-taking jobs are typically large projects. Is there a way to resolve this issue for community edition. Does moving to latest LTA would be any help here?

Hey @Anjali_Bhat!

I suggest:

• Updating to the latest version of SonarQube Community Build (v25.2) which contains some performance improvements for processing background tasks
• Consider SonarQube Server’s Enterprise Edition, which lets you process background tasks in parallel

Hi @Colin

Thanks for responding.

In our case, we only update our productive instance to current LTA versions. Does moving latest LTA would help in such resolving delay issues OR should we specifically update to Community Build (v25.2)

There are no longer LTA versions of Community Build.

@Chris

As a result, SonarQube Community Build will adopt a new versioning scheme separate from our commercial versions. Starting with the upcoming release in December 2024, the Community Build will adopt a new Calendar Versioning (CalVer) format. There will no longer be an LTA equivalent version for the Community Build.

You should target the latest version (now v25.3!)
