Automate Qualys Report Generation and Retrieval
detail.loadingPreview
Streamline your Qualys security reporting by automating the generation and retrieval of reports. This workflow ensures timely access to crucial security data without manual intervention.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow is designed to automate the entire process of generating and fetching reports from Qualys. It begins by setting up essential global variables, including the Qualys API base URL. The workflow then fetches available report template IDs from Qualys. Upon receiving the template IDs, it proceeds to launch a specific report based on a user-defined template name, output format, and report title. After initiating the report generation, the workflow includes a polling mechanism: it waits for a minute and then checks the status of the report. If the report is finished, it proceeds to download the generated report. This automation significantly reduces manual effort and ensures consistent access to Qualys security insights.
Key Features
- Automated Report Generation: Kickstart Qualys report creation programmatically.
- Dynamic Template Selection: Dynamically select report templates based on their titles.
- Scheduled Polling: Automatically check report status at regular intervals.
- Report Download: Seamlessly download generated reports in your desired format.
- Centralized Configuration: Manage API URLs and credentials in one place.
How To Use
- Configure Global Variables: In the 'Global Variables' node, set the
base_urlfor your Qualys API endpoint. Ensure you have the correct Qualys API credentials configured in n8n. - Fetch Report Template IDs: The 'Fetch Report IDs' node uses your Qualys credentials to retrieve a list of available report templates.
- Launch Report: In the 'Launch Report' node, specify the
template_name,output_format, andreport_titleyou wish to generate. The workflow will dynamically find the correcttemplate_idbased on the provided name. - Monitor Report Status: The 'Wait 1 Minute' and 'Check Status of Report' nodes create a loop to periodically check if the report has finished generating.
- Conditional Download: The 'Is Report Finished?' node acts as a gate. If the report status is 'Finished', the 'Download Report' node will execute, fetching the report data using the report ID.
