We are using SonarQube \* Community Edition \* Version 8.9.5 (build 50698)  
So we are having an issue in our project that some imports which are actually getting used are showing unused on sonarqube. How to fix this ?

Hi,

Welcome to the community!

Your version is past EOL. You should upgrade to either the latest version or the current LTA (long-term active version) at your earliest convenience. Your upgrade path is:

> xxx → 8.9.10 → 9.9.4 LTS → 10.5.1 (last step optional)

You may find these resources helpful:

If you have questions about upgrading, feel free to open a new thread for that [here](https://community.sonarsource.com/c/sq/9-9-lts-upgrade/47).

If your error persists after upgrade, please come back to us.

In the meantime Sonarqube 10.6.0 is the latest version.
