Adding and Managing Parser Plugins

If you are a Fortify Software Security Center administrator, you can connect Fortify Software Security Center to third-party parser plugins.

Tip: You can write your own parser plugin for Fortify Software Security Center. For instructions, see the "Sample parser plugin" page on GitHub (https://github.com/fortify/sample-parser).

To add a parser plugin to the system:

  1. Log in to Fortify Software Security Center as an administrator, and then, on the Fortify header, select ADMINISTRATION.

  2. In the left pane, select Plugins, and then select Parser Plugins.

  3. On the Parsers page header, click NEW.

    Fortify Software Security Center displays the Upload Plugin Warning to advise you of the risk of uploading third-party plugins.

  4. To acknowledge the warning and continue, click OK.

  5. In the Upload Plugin Bundle dialog box, click BROWSE, and then locate and select the bundle file (JAR file) for your plugin.

  6. Click START UPLOAD.

    The Parsers page lists the plugin you uploaded.

  7. To expand the row that displayed the parser name, click it.

  8. To enable the parser plugin, click ENABLE.
