          Description

          SonarQube currently provides the ability to back up and restore quality profiles, which must contain only the activation details of rules within a profile.

          But there is currently no way to back up and restore all the customizations done on the rules themselves:

          • Extended description on any kind of rule
          • Set of tags on a rule (including custom tags)
          • Custom rules created from rule templates

          Example of use case: you want to synchronize your production environment with the pre-production environment on which you create some custom rules.

              Custom java rules created from rule templates do get backed up. E.g. track usage of methods.

              Backup works, but restore not (SonarQube 7.4):
              "Custom Rule" from XML template (e.g. "Track breaches of an XPath rule") is included in the backup.xml (see AWfBzGEiCiFP21cn4yu-.xml)
              but "Restore" does not bring them back.
