The plugin configuration is quite simple. You can setup your SonarQube settings in your JIRA project settings section:
There are three options:
- SonarQube Server URL: this is your SonarQube instance server base URL, by default it will be http://localhost:9000 (the default SonarQube server installation)
- Token: this field is optional. If your SonarQube instance is not public, then you will need to setup this field with the security token from a SonarQube user. You can find more information about SonarQube tokens here: https://docs.sonarqube.org/display/SONAR/User+Token
- Resource ID: this is the key of the SonarQube resource where you are going to retrieve the quality metrics. You can get this key from your SonarQube project dashboard or your sonar-project analysis parameters.
