# Other adjustments

Check also the [overview](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-server/2025.2/analyzing-source-code/languages/overview "mention") for specific language properties related to analysis scope adjustment.

## Adjusting the secret detection scope <a href="#secret-detection-scope" id="secret-detection-scope"></a>

By default, SonarQube Server detects exposed secrets in all files processed by the language analyzers. You can refine the scope of the secret detection: see [secrets](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-server/2025.2/analyzing-source-code/languages/secrets "mention").

## Excluding files over a certain size <a href="#excluding-files-over-certain-size" id="excluding-files-over-certain-size"></a>

You can set the `sonar.filesize.limit` and `sonar.javascript.maxFileSize` properties on the CI/CD host to exclude files over a certain limit. For more information, see [analysis-parameters](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-server/2025.2/analyzing-source-code/analysis-parameters "mention").

## Disabling the SCM’s file ignore patterns <a href="#disabling-scm-file-ignore" id="disabling-scm-file-ignore"></a>

Your SonarQube analysis will automatically exclude files that are ignored by your source code control system. For example, in git repositories, it respects the `.gitignore` file. SonarQube also respects the ignore directives used in SVN repositories.

You can disable this behavior by setting the sonar property `sonar.scm.exclusions.disabled` to `true` on the CI/CD host. For more information, see [analysis-parameters](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-server/2025.2/analyzing-source-code/analysis-parameters "mention").
