Setting thresholds values - Java - Static Code analysis - SonarQube Sonar

Question

So we have Checkstyle, PMD, Findbugs as tools which performs static code analysis or work on bytecode to find various issues in code and using them in Jenkins/Hudson (under Post build actions), can turn a build to a unstable, failed, successful build depending upon what threshold values we set there.

As SonarQube is the upcoming/future single dash for showing all such analysis in one page for a project/module, I was wondering where in SonarQube settings (I can set such threasholds) to make a build as a failed, unstable, successful i.e. Jenkins will launch the build (ANT/Maven/Gradle etc), calls, sonarRunner (task in Gradle) / sonar-runner (executable in Linux/Unix), then if threasholds are not good, then Jenkins will mark the build as unstable/failed/successful depending upon the set threashold values.

Any ideas?
