Qualys

Asset Manager helps your Qualys Enterprise server work better by comparing Qualys-subscribed and Qualys-scanned IPs with Asset Manager-indexed hosts in the same network space. Qualys receives up-to-the-minute endpoint data from Asset Manager at every polling interval, enabling Qualys to saturate a network space with its service, thereby eliminating any and all gaps in coverage and ensuring the comprehensive provision of Qualys Management to Qualys customers.

The Qualys integration also supports Asset Manager's Qualys Management dashboard, which provides device details on IPs managed by Qualys, IPs managed by Asset Manager, and IPs managed by both services.

An Asset Manager superuser can configure connectivity between the Asset Manager Command Center and the Qualys server as follows:

  1. In Asset Manager, go to Settings > Integrations > Qualys, and click Configure. 
  2. Turn on the Enabled toggle to activate the integration.
  3. Enter a Polling Interval to indicate the time that should elapse between fetching the latest feed data. Input 24 to poll daily, input 12 to poll twice a day, and so on.
  4. Enter the DNS name or IP address of your Qualys server in the Server Name field.
  5. Enter the Username and Password used for Qualys.
  6. Select the Auto-Subscribe check box to automatically push Asset Manager indexed endpoints to the subscription pool managed by Qualys. This expands Qualys' subscription pool by incorporating Asset Manager indexed hosts.
    • Clearing the Auto-Subscribe checkbox will:
      • Create an asset group on Qualys that represents hosts that are both Asset Manager indexed and Qualys subscribed, yet are not in the Qualys Scan group.
      • Push to diff–that is hosts not in the Qualys Scan group yet are represented in both Asset Manager indexed and Qualys subscribed to the Qualys server.
  7. Select the Zones to pull data from.
  8. Click Test to confirm that the feed is configured correctly.
  9. Click Save.  

After saving, Asset Manager indexed devices that Qualys doesn't know about are incorporated to Qualys Managed and Subscription management services. At each polling interval, the integration is run and a refresh of endpoint data is pushed to the Qualys server. Results populate the Qualys Integration dashboard.

Also after saving, the Asset Manager Extension installs on your Qualys server.
