Sonarqube integration with Prometheus📜

Sonarqube does not have built-in support for a /metrics endpoint for Prometheus integration. A metrics exporter plugin is required.

Summary (Scenerio)📜

This Prometheus.md document is a quick guide on how to setup Prometheus montoring to scrape metrics from Sonarqube. These instructions have been written for running Big Bang on a dev-cluster (dev.bigbang.mil). If you are in an airgapped environment these instructions can be used as guidance but may need to be altered.

Resources📜

values.yaml📜

The below additional values need to be added to your existing values.yaml file in order for integrating the promethues exporter.

  • Some sections will needed to be changed for your kubernetes cluster.

  enabled: true
prometheusExporter:
  enabled: true
  version: "0.20.0"
  webBeanPort: 8000
  ceBeanPort: 8001

Troubleshootig📜

  • With monitoring enabled it takes Sonarqube about 15 to 20 minute to fully come up to ready.
  • Kiali can be used to monitor istio policies for the monitoring and sonarqube namespaces.
