Troubleshoot repository technology detection
Resolve technology detection issues and review common questions.
Resolve common technology detection issues. Review how composition percentages and technology metadata work.
Frequently asked questions
Can users manually tag a repository with a custom technology?
No. Technology detection is automated and cannot be manually overridden or supplemented.
The detection engine analyzes files during repository scans. Undetected custom frameworks do not appear in Technologies.
Use repository Tags for custom metadata. Tags appear in the repository side card.
What happens when a new language is added?
The technology appears after the next repository scan. Select Rescan in the repository side card to update it immediately.
Are technology percentages based on lines of code or file count?
Percentages represent each technology's proportional share of the repository codebase. File-level analysis calculates the proportions, which total 100%.
Do technologies affect security scanning or policy evaluation?
Technologies are informational Asset Inventory metadata. They can inform scanner configuration and policy scoping.
Troubleshoot technology detection
If a known technology is missing, review these causes and resolutions:
The repository has not been scanned recently
Select the repository row, then select Rescan in the side-card actions.
All scanners are disabled for the repository
Enable at least one scanner. The Rescan action is unavailable otherwise.
Technology files are on an unscanned branch
Confirm that the branch is included in the scanning scope.
The technology is unsupported
Standard technologies are detected broadly. Proprietary frameworks might not be detected.
