This Verification server is hosted within a private network and cannot be reached directly by SD Elements. |
Select this option if SD Elements does not have direct network access to the Coverity server. For example, if you are using a hosted SD Elements instance but you want to integrate with an internal/protected Coverity system, choose this option and run the Remote Integration Agent to perform integration. |

Advanced options
Enter advanced configuration options.
Bypass server certificate validation for HTTPS (insecure, only for testing purposes) |
Check this option if you need to test a connection without the proper SSL/TLS certificates. |
|---|
Sync frequency
Select how frequently SD Elements should retrieve scan results from the server. You can choose from the following options. The more frequently you run an import, the greater the performance impact on both SD Elements and the server. This is generally only a concern for large organizations running many imports at once.
Hourly, Daily, Weekly, or Monthly |
The projects will import scan results automatically every hour, day, week, or month. Daily import is typically sufficient. However, you may want to select a more frequent interval if development moves quickly in your organization. |
|---|---|
Manually |
You must click the Import button on the Verification Integrations page to import the results. This is the default value. |
