Plugins for SonarQube administrator

The administrator is essential for a SonarQube instance to function properly and for users to work normally and focus on what really matters: developing quality and secure software. When a SonarQube instance is configured correctly, the effectiveness of the tool is fully assured and the collaboration of the development team is efficient. So, in order for a SonarQube administrator to get to this point, at bitegarden we have developed a series of plugins to make your day-to-day life easier.

But before I show you these plugins, let’s review what are the skills of a SonarQube administrator.


What skills should a SonarQube administrator have?

- Monitor and maintain projects: Manage multiple projects, maintenance… a SonarQube administrator must have sufficient knowledge to perform this type of task.

- Automate tasks: If you can automate tasks for both yourself and your users, you should do them. For example, implementing an inspection circuit continues to place SonarQube at the centre of the analysis.

- Improve the visibility of information: Have quick access to key statistics for projects and, where appropriate, provide that information to users.

- Manage plugins: Install and configure plugins to extend the functionality of instances. Also, maintain and update those installed plugins to work properly.


Which plugins can help the administration of SonarQube?

And now yes, after analyzing the main features we show you the plugins. Some are related to tasks mentioned above, such as plugin management or global instance management.
