Notification Mechanism
During each analysis, notifications are computed for each subscribed user. Then, asynchronously, these notifications are sent via email.
To set the delay between processing of the notification queue, set the sonar.notifications.delay property (in seconds) in SONAR_HOME/conf/sonar.properties. The server must be restarted for the new value to be taken into account.
Note
Note that sometimes there could be some discrepancy between values displayed in the email and values displayed on the web interface. This happens if another analysis has been run between the sending of the email and your clicking on the link to the Issues drill-down in this email.
Who gets notifications
Only users who subscribe themselves will get notifications. There is no admin functionality to proactively subscribe another user. If you believe a user should be receiving notifications, then it's time to practice the gentle art of persuasion.
Email Configuration
To configure the email server, go to Administration > General Settings > Email.
Check also the Server base URL property at Administration > General Settings > General to make sure that links in those notification emails will redirect to the right SonarQube server URL.
