How to Add Project Key Value to Sonarqube Dashboard?

4 minutes read

To add a project key value to the SonarQube dashboard, you can navigate to the project in SonarQube and locate the project key. This key is typically a unique identifier for the project within SonarQube. Once you have the project key, you can go to the dashboard settings and input the project key value. This will enable the project key to be displayed on the SonarQube dashboard, allowing for easier identification and tracking of the project within the tool.

How to retrieve project key values from the SonarQube database?

You can retrieve project key values from the SonarQube database by querying the database directly. Here's a general outline of how you can do this:

  1. Connect to the SonarQube database: You will need to access the database where SonarQube stores its data. This will typically be a MySQL, PostgreSQL, or Microsoft SQL Server database.
  2. Write a SQL query to retrieve the project key values: You can write a SQL query to retrieve the project key values from the database tables that store this information. The specific tables and columns you need to query will depend on the version of SonarQube you are using.
  3. Execute the SQL query: Once you have written the query, you can execute it against the SonarQube database to retrieve the project key values.
  4. Process the results: Once you have retrieved the project key values from the database, you can process and use this information as needed for your specific use case.


It's important to note that directly querying the SonarQube database may have potential risks, such as accidentally modifying or deleting data. It's recommended to carefully review and test your queries before executing them in a production environment.


What is the process of updating project key values in SonarQube?

To update project key values in SonarQube, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your SonarQube instance with administrative privileges.
  2. Go to the Administration section by clicking on the gear icon in the top-right corner.
  3. In the Administration section, navigate to the Projects tab.
  4. Search for the project whose key value you want to update.
  5. Click on the project to open its settings.
  6. In the project settings, look for the option to edit the project key value.
  7. Update the project key value as desired and save the changes.
  8. Once the project key value is updated, you may need to trigger a new analysis to ensure that the changes take effect.
  9. After triggering a new analysis, the updated project key value should be reflected in SonarQube.


It is important to note that changing a project key value can have implications on existing metrics, links, and configurations in SonarQube. It is recommended to review these potential impacts before making any changes to project key values.


How to navigate to the SonarQube dashboard?

To navigate to the SonarQube dashboard, follow these steps:

  1. Open a web browser on your computer.
