Extend Sonar With Plugins
The core engine of Sonar is light and extensible to allow addition of new features through a plugin mechanism. This mechanism has been built to promote the development of both open source and commercial plugins ecosystem around Sonar. SonarSource commercializes the following plugins and highly contributes to the open source plugins forge.
Views plugin
 |
The Sonar Views Plugin enables the creation of aggregation trees to regroup projects. Projects can for instance be grouped by applications, applications by team, teams by department… Each level of the tree is a View and offers all standard services such as dashboard, hotspots, timemachine, drilldown… showing the consolidated measures. |
Identity plugin
 |
The Sonar Identity plugin enables the delegation of Sonar authentication to an external system. The plugin supports LDAP and Microsoft Active Directory connectivity. |
PL/SQL plugin
 |
The Sonar PL/SQL plugin enables analysis and reporting on PL/SQL projects. As an option, the plugin can extract PL/SQL code from Oracle Forms. |
Master Project plugin
 |
The Sonar Master Project Plugin computes all projects of the instance into what is called the Master Project. The so-created project is then available in the Home Page and offers all standard project services. |
Cobol plugin (Coming soon)
 |
The Sonar Cobol plugin enables analysis and reporting on Cobol projects, giving access to Sonar core functionality on those projects |
