Hello,

We are trying to configure sonarqube though “DevOps Platform Integrations”.

We have tried to generate “Client Secret” and " Private Key" on GitHub App’s page however the issue remains same and is intermittent.

Could you please help us how we can resolve the issue as we have tried several times to follow sonarqube documentation however the issue is not resolved.

SonarQube instance is hosted on AWS EC2 instance,

SonarQube ID information  
Version: 9.4.0.54424 (developer edition)  
Date: 2023-07-25

Thanks in advance,  
Anil Kumar V.
