SonarQube - How to see more than the first 15 viol

Question

I'm using SonarQube 5.3. We have 241k issues in our codebase. But when I filter out say, the "Major" issues and click on the "Rule" box to see what rules were violated, I can only see the first 15. Is there a way I can find out all of them?

I've edited this question to add a screenshot. Notice on the left under "Rule" there are only 15 of them.

You can't do this in the UI, but you can get the data you need using the Web API: /api/issues/search (documented here) can list all the issues of a given project (use projectKeys). And to your question: set the facets parameter to rules , the returned JSON will then list the violated rules (and even count the violations per rule).

Using git project as an example here's an example of Web API request:

https://sonarqube.com/api/issues/search?projectKeys=git&severities=CRITICAL&facets=rules&ps=250

Edit: via Web API, facet is still limited to top 15 elements. However one can programmatically loop through issues (results are paginated) and count rules along the way.
