There are different options:

• SonarQube Server URL: this is server base URL for your SonarQube installation

• Token: this field is optional. If your SonarQube instance is not public, then you will need to setup this field with the security token from a SonarQube user. 

• The token type must be USER token type. You can find more information about SonarQube tokens here: https://docs.sonarqube.org/display/SONAR/User+Token

• SonarCloud Organization: this parameter is needed if you have configured SonarCloud as SonarQube Server URL.

• Open AI Settings (Experimental) : Configuring this field will automatically add comments to Jira issues created by the application (3 comments max). These comments are suggestions for resolve the problem in code using the OpenAI API. If you dont have a token, you can generate it from here. Additionally, please note that the feature to use OpenAI's suggestions via the plugin is optional and it is disabled by default. Furthermore, you need to have your own OpenAI API key managed entirely by yourself.
