About your code scanning configuration

You can use a variety of tools to configure code scanning in your repository. For more information, see Como definir a configuração padrão da verificação de código and Como definir a configuração avançada para verificação de código.

The log and diagnostic information available to you depends on the method you use for code scanning in your repository. You can check the type of code scanning you're using in the Security tab of your repository, by using the Tool drop-down menu in the alert list. For more information, see Assessing code scanning alerts for your repository.

About analysis and diagnostic information

You can see analysis and diagnostic information for code scanning run using CodeQL analysis on GitHub.

Analysis information is shown for the most recent analysis in a header at the top of the list of alerts. For more information, see Assessing code scanning alerts for your repository.

Diagnostic information is displayed in the Action workflow logs and consists of summary metrics and extractor diagnostics. For information about accessing code scanning logs on GitHub, see Viewing the logging output from code scanning below.

If you're using the CodeQL CLI outside GitHub, you'll see diagnostic information in the output generated during database analysis. This information is also included in the SARIF results file you upload to GitHub with the code scanning results.

For information about the CodeQL CLI, see Como analisar o código com as consultas CodeQL.

About summary metrics

As métricas resumidas incluem:

  • Linhas de código na base de dados (usadas como linha de base), antes da criação e extração do banco de dados de CodeQL
  • Linhas de código no banco de dados CodeQL extraído do código, incluindo bibliotecas externas e arquivos gerados automaticamente
  • Linhas de código no banco de dados de CodeQL excluindo arquivos gerados automaticamente e bibliotecas externas

About CodeQL source code extraction diagnostics

Os diagnósticos do extrator só cobrem os arquivos vistos durante a análise. As métricas incluem:

  • Número de arquivos analisados com sucesso
  • Número de arquivos que geraram erros do extrator durante a criação do banco de dados
  • Número de arquivos que geraram avisos do extrator durante a criação do banco de dados

You can see more detailed information about CodeQL extractor errors and warnings that occurred during database creation by enabling debug logging. For more information, see Os logs não são detalhados o suficiente.

Viewing the logging output from code scanning

This section applies to code scanning run using GitHub Actions (CodeQL or third-party).

After configuring code scanning for your repository, you can watch the output of the actions as they run.

  1. No nome do repositório, clique em Actions.

    Captura de tela das guias do repositório "github/docs". A guia "Ações" está realçada com um contorno laranja.

    You'll see a list that includes an entry for running the code scanning workflow. The text of the entry is the title you gave your commit message.

    Screenshot of the "All workflows" page. In the list of workflow runs is a run labeled "Create .github/workflows/codeql.yml."

  2. Click the entry for the code scanning workflow.

    Observação

    If you are looking for the CodeQL workflow run triggered by enabling default setup, the text of the entry is "CodeQL."

  3. Click the job name on the left. For example, Analyze (LANGUAGE).

    Screenshot of the log output for the "Analyze (go)" job. In the left sidebar, under the "Jobs" heading, "Analyze (go)" is listed.

  4. Review the logging output from the actions in this workflow as they run.

  5. Optionally, to see more detail about the commit that triggered the workflow run, click the short commit hash. The short commit hash is 7 lowercase characters immediately following the commit author's username.

  6. Once all jobs are complete, you can view the details of any code scanning alerts that were identified. For more information, see Assessing code scanning alerts for your repository.

Determining whether code scanning default setup used any private registries

Code scanning default setup includes a Setup proxy or registries step. When you are looking at a log file for default setup, you can expand this step. If the step includes:

  • Using registries_credentials input. At least one private registry is configured for the organization.

  • Credentials loaded for the following registries:

    • No further output in the step. Access was unsuccessful.
    • Type: nuget_feed; Default set up accessed a private Nuget feed.
    • Type: maven_repository; Default set up accessed a private Maven repository.
