Is there a way to control and automate snapshot generation for projects in SonarQube 6.3?

Question

According to Sonarqube documentation: https://docs.sonarqube.org/display/SONAR/Concepts A snapshot is generated for each analysis. Is there any way available to control this versioning and the given time for the snapshot generation. If yes, then I would like to automate the naming of snapshot generation.

Further explanation: I would like to have given time for a snapshot equal to say 2 weeks and give it a name like: "119.0 Sprint" and then for the next snapshot generation, I want that sonarqube names it as "120.0 Sprint".

Any helpful documentation or tutorial would be appreciated.

To update the version string that's shown in SonarQube, you should update its source: your sonar-project.properties, pom.xml or other document used to feed the basic analysis values such as project key, sources directory and so on.

This should be done externally to SonarQube, although you can attach such values to snapshots via the SonarQube UI after the face.
