With the update to 2025.1.1 we receive warnings: A plugin stores excessively large data

With the update from 2025.1.0 to 2025.1.1 we receive warnings: A plugin stores excessive data in the following action(s).

We use the dependency-check-plugin, which loads an html file as result on the sonar server.

The behaviour of the plugin has not changed, the sonarqube server brings this warning since the update.

Why does this warning appear since the update?
How should we deal with it?

Hi,

You’re right that it’s not the plugin that’s changed; it’s SonarQube.

In 2025.1 we store measures data a little differently for optimized DB usage, and under some circumstances, we’ve realized it can affect the UI with slow loading times if the Dependency Check plugin’s HTML reports have been stored as well. So in the point release, we added this warning.

As for how you should deal with it, you can choose to stop uploading the sonar.dependencyCheck.htmlReportPath. Or you can ignore the warning and any UI slowness.

 
HTH,
Ann
