# SonarQube

Let’s learn how to configure visibility for **SonarQube**. It is an Integration for ISD application, an external data source from where ISD would pick the data for that would be used for taking informed decisions. 

Following are the steps:

1. Add / Edit application & its respective services. [**Refer to this page**](https://docs.opsmx.com/user-guide/manage-application) to know how to add / edit applications.
2. Add **SonarQube** as an Integration to the ISD system.  [**Refer to this page** ](https://docs.opsmx.com/user-guide/data-sources)to learn how to add an         Integration.
3. Next, click on your application and go to the **pipeline builder** page. Here you can add and configure the multiple stages into the pipeline.
4. Click on "[**Add Stage**](https://docs.opsmx.com/user-guide/manage-pipelines/add-stage)" select the stage type as **Approval,** and enter the **stage name.** Here we have given the gate name "TestApproval".
5. Select the **Environment** from the drop-down menu and select the **approver group** from the drop-down menu, which contains the list of user groups who can approve the request. The selected group should have at least view access to the application.\
   If required, select the **Automated Approval** option, which will automatically approve the deployment based on preconfigured conditions.
