Plugin attributes

Chain plugins have the following optional attributes.

Attribute	Description
Execution state	The following states are used: Success, Failure, Unstable, or Stopped.
Measurement	A set of single-valued judgments about source code. For example, 24,847 might be a measurement of lines of code, and High might be a measurement of the security risk level.
Finding	When issues are identified, chain plugins annotate the source code and provide a severity level to indicate how serious an issue is. Findings are displayed as a list of messages for each plugin. Messages are divided by type, such as Errors, Warnings, Failures, or Information. Some findings may include a link to a web page that provides more details. For details, see Inspect chain runs in reviews.
