Build step 'Publish build data to InfluxDb target' marked build as failure

      Cause: sonarqube runs with credentials. In this case the simple http rest-api request in the SonarQubeScanner returns a non-json string (didn't check if the whole string is empty).
      This leads the a fail of the whole post-build-action and no data is send to the database.

      Workaround
      Create a password "ANALYSIS SUCCESSFUL, you can browse" (name does not care) and inject it to the build. This leads jenkins to mask the string in the log with *** and the scannerpointer will be skipped

      Possible solutions
      1: add an systemproperty or an option to skip the SQ-Scanner even if data is available
      2: use authentication when running the SQ api-request
      3: catch the exception, print an error if you like but do not fail the whole post-build step.
