How to verify webhooks are being received and processed correctly

[David Keaveny]

I have an on-premise installation of SonarQube that I want to receive code analysis webhooks from. I followed the Atlassian instructions to set up an organisation-level webhook in SonarQube and pasted in the generated webhook URL that Compass created for me. I then added a link to the SonarQube project to the Dashboard links of my Compass component. Finally, I made a code change on my GitHub-hosted repo; SonarQube ran its analysis task, and I can see that it published a successful analysis result to Compass, receiving a 202 Accepted response code.

However, the Sonar Quality Gate scorecard that I added to my project is still reporting a failing status, and if I click on the scorecard, it asks me to connect the metric to a data source.

From SonarQube's point of view, everything has gone correctly; how can I identify where my metrics have disappeared to in Compass?

Ugh, never mind. I finished typing this question in, went back to my project and saw that there was a different metric receiving the data from the webhook; I changed my scorecard to use the correct metric (quality-gate-conditions-passing) and now everything is working as expected.
