Viewing project activity

The Activity page shows the evolution of your project over time based on various measures and events.

You can:

• View the full list of code scans performed on your project since it was created in SonarQube Server.

• Follow the evolution of the quality gate.

• See the changes in quality profiles.

• Discover when a given version of your code has been scanned.

• etc.

To view the activity and history of a project:

1. Retrieve your project. See Retrieving projects for more information.

2. In the project navigation bar, select Activity. The left sidebar contains the list of code scans performed on your project. The project snapshot purge policy is defined in Housekeeping.

3. In Filter events, you can filter the scans list by event type. See Event types for more information.

4. Graphs on the Activity page help you understand the evolution of up to three measures of your choice against each other. This allows you to compare project components and quickly spot the ones that represent the greatest risks. The Activity page offers several pre-defined visualizations, and you can also create custom visualizations with the metrics of your choice. For information, see Monitoring project metrics.

In an issues graph, issues marked as false positive will still show as issues as long no new analysis run has been performed.
