Hi Team

There is an issue with sonar-config -i quality profile

Hi @Jay-jakwak4 ,

This one seems more to be a network issue. The host sonarqube-secondary.****.com seems to be inytermittently not reachable. I don't think there is any problem with sonar-config in that case

Hi @okorach

Thank you for your answer.
I checked and this doesn't seem to happen all the time.
But I think it could be caused by a lot of operations happening in a short time.

If this error does occur, �can you please support the feature to retry a few more times?

Thanks

Hello @Jay-jakwak4,

I will not be able to support retry in a short term. because this requires some significant refactoring.
What I can suggest however to mitigate your intermittent problem is to reduce the number of parallel threads/operations.
By default it's 8, but you can be bring that down to 1 or 2.
sonar-config -e ... --threads 2

The more threads the faster the tool, but for a config export, it may not matter much. It's usually fast enough on 1 or 2 threads.
