Special Considerations
SonarQube instance required

As a non-
rootuser, unzip it, let's say in C:\sonarqube or /opt/sonarqube.- sonar.log - Log for the main process. Holds general information about startup and shutdown. You'll get overall status here but not details. Look to the other logs for that.
- web.log - Information about initial connection to the database, database migration and reindexing, and the processing of HTTP requests. This includes database and search engine logs related to those requests.
- ce.log - Information about background task processing and the database and search engine logs related to those tasks.
- es.log - Ops information from the search engine, such as Elasticsearch startup, health status changes, cluster-, node- and index-level operations, etc.
Log in to http://localhost:9000 with System Administrator credentials (login=admin, password=admin).

As a non-root user, start the SonarQube Server:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|

# On Windows, execute:
C:\sonarqube\bin\windows-x86-xx\StartSonar.bat
# On other operating systems, as a non-root user execute:

Example
Step 1: Gather authentication information.
If you choose to use a token over username and password for authentication you can generate it on your SonarQube Server. To get a SonarQube Token: login to your SonarQube Instance (http://host:port ex: http://localhost:9000/) and navigate to My Account->Security->Generate New Token. Make sure you copy and save this token somewhere secure because after you leave this screen you will not be able to see your token again.
