How to get SonarLint for IntelliJ logs?

3. Find the logs in the Log tab of the tool window.

I have configured some SonarScanner properties. Are they applied to SonarLint?

No. Scanner properties you may have defined in sonar-project.properties, pom.xml, ... (like sonar.sources, sonar.projectBasedir, ...) only make sense in the command line SonarScanner context. SonarLint tries to use IDE metadata to avoid other configurations. If you want to share some configuration between SonarScanners and SonarLint, like exclusions or some analyzer properties, it is best to use Connected Mode and set the configuration in the SonarQube or SonarCloud UI.
