The cov-manage-findings command enables you to do the following:

  • Create a priority filter in a local directory.

    A priority filter is used for filtering out low-importance findings before they are persisted as issues.

  • Generate a findings report using a locally stored priority filter.

    This report provides a statistical view of what findings would be filtered out by the priority filter once the filter is uploaded to the Coverity Connect server.

  • Upload a priority filter to the Coverity Connect server.

    After being uploaded, the priority filter filters the findings data input to cov-commit-defects for the specified stream.

  • Generate a findings report for a specified stream using a priority filter stored in the Coverity Connect server.

    This report provides a statistical view of what findings are filtered out for the specified stream when cov-commit-defects is executed.
