Role of sonarqube and sonarqube scanner

Question

Based on what I know sonar.properties need to be created in your java project and then execute the sonar scanner to scan the project for issues.

I am not sure if it is Sonar scanner who finds the issues or is it sonarqube?

Is it possible to use sonarqube scanner only to find the issues?

Please help.

Please include your desired results and what you have tried so far in your question. You have read the docs right? docs.sonarqube.org/display/SONAR/Analyzing+Source+Code — kpie

It is possible to set the analysis parameters to either publish, which will send the reports to SonarQube or preview, which will not.

Specifically you need this in your properties file:

sonar.analysis.mode=preview
