UPM, Manage SonarQube plugins easily
May 4, 2025
Are you a SonarQube™ administrator? Then this article is for you. At bitegarden, we’ve developed a solution built by developers, for administrators: the Universal Plugin Manager (UPM) for SonarQube™. In this article, we’ll show you how this product can make your day-to-day plugin management tasks much easier.
What is the Universal Plugin Manager?
The Universal Plugin Manager (UPM) is an administration tool that simplifies plugin management within your SonarQube™ instance. It is designed to streamline plugin installation, updating, and removal, allowing administrators to manage everything from within the SonarQube™ administration interface — with no need to access the server file system.
Traditionally, installing a custom plugin in SonarQube™ meant copying .jar files directly into the server’s extensions/plugins folder, which required help from the operations team.
With our UPM plugin, you can save time by performing the following actions:
➡ Upload .jar files directly through the web interface.
➡ Install any custom plugin or older version not available in the SonarQube™ Marketplace.

➡ Browse all our plugins compatible with SonarQube™.
➡ Install and update our tools directly from within UPM.
➡ Easily uninstall any plugin you no longer need.
In addition, the Universal Plugin Manager includes an auto-update feature. It will notify you when a new version is available, so your system stays up to date effortlessly.
