Setting up Bitbucket Data Center integration at global level

How to set up Bitbucket Data Center and SonarQube Server for integration at the global level.

This section explains how to set up Bitbucket Server or Data Center and SonarQube to allow users to import Bitbucket repositories. To perform this setup, you need the global Administer System permission in SonarQube.

Prerequisites

You’ve set a SonarQube Server base URL in SonarQube Server: see Server base URL.

Step 1: Create a Personal Access Token

You must provide a Bitbucket Server / Data Center Personal Access Token that will be used by SonarQube to report the quality gate to the pull requests. This token will be stored in SonarQube and can be revoked at any time in Bitbucket.

To generate the token, we recommend using a dedicated Bitbucket account with Administrator permissions. In any case, the account must have the Read permission for the repositories that will be analyzed.

If you want to enter the token in SonarQube in encrypted format, you can encrypt this token.

See Sensitive settings for more information about settings encryption.

Step 2: Create a Bitbucket configuration record

This integration is performed through a "Bitbucker Configuration" record, which is used in SonarQube to access the Bitbucket Server or Data Center instance.

Starting in SonarQube Server's Enterprise edition, you can integrate SonarQube with multiple Bitbucket instances, each instance being accessed with a different Bitbucket Configuration.

To set up a Bitbucket Configuration in SonarQube:

1. In the SonarQube UI, go to Administration > Configuration > General Settings > DevOps Platform Integrations.

2. On the Bitbucket tab, select Create configuration. The Create a configuration dialog will open.

3. Choose Bitbucket Server before continuing.

1. Specify the following settings:

   • Configuration Name (Enterprise and Data Center edition only): The name used to identify your Bitbucker configuration at the project level. Use something succinct and easily recognizable.

   • Bitbucker Server URL: Your Server or Data Center instance URL. For example, https://bitbucket-server.your-company.com.

   • Personal Access Token: The token you generated in Step 1.

2. Select Save configuration.
