How to export results as a PDF report?

Question

I am using SonarQube 5.6.3. How can I create a SonarQube analysis details report as a PDF form, an excel report, or an html formatted report?

No plugin seems to be available for this.

I was unable to generate an html file using below configuration:

sonar.issuesReport.html.enable = true
sonar.issuesReport.html.location = c:\
sonar.issuesReport.html.name = sample

How can I export these details from SonarQube?

Answer 1

To get html reports add these properties to your sonar.properties file

sonar.analysis.mode=preview 
sonar.issuesReport.html.enable=true

Answer 2

The Governance plugin allows to generate PDF reports. See http://docs.sonarqube.org/display/PLUG/Governance+plugin for more details. Please note that I work at SonarSource, the company developing this commercial plugin.

EDIT:

Governance plugin has been replaced by the SonarQube Enterprise Edition in versions 7.x.

Answer 3

For the sonar-maven-plugin it works the same. Just add these two properties to the pom file:

<project xmlns="...>
     ...
    <properties>
         <sonar.analysis.mode>preview</sonar.analysis.mode>
         <sonar.issuesReport.html.enable>true</sonar.issuesReport.html.enable>
    </properties>
    ...
</project>

results will be in the target/sonar folder
