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. To access this page, see Avaliar alertas de varredura de código para seu repositório.
Logs on GitHub
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. See Avaliar alertas de varredura de código para seu repositório.
- Diagnostic information is displayed in the GitHub Actions workflow logs and consists of summary metrics and extractor diagnostics. To access these logs, see Viewing code scanning logs from GitHub Actions.
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
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. See Os logs não são detalhados o suficiente.
Logs for the CodeQL CLI
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.
Logs in VS Code
Progress and error messages are displayed as notifications in the bottom right corner of the Visual Studio Code workspace. These link to more detailed logs and error messages in the "Output" window.
You can access separate logs for the CodeQL extension, language server, query Server, or tests. The Language Server log contains more advanced debug logs for CodeQL language maintainers. You should only need these to provide details in a bug report.
To access these logs, see Accessing logs for CodeQL in Visual Studio Code.
