Automate Your Qualys VM Scans and Get Real-Time Insights
detail.loadingPreview
Streamline your vulnerability management by automating Qualys VM scans directly from n8n. This workflow triggers scans, monitors their status, and fetches results, providing you with timely security insights.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow empowers DevOps and security teams to take control of their Qualys VM scanning process. It seamlessly initiates scans via the Qualys API, allowing for automated execution based on your defined asset groups, scan titles, and option profiles. The workflow then intelligently waits for scans to complete, periodically fetching scan results. By converting the XML API responses to JSON, n8n makes it incredibly easy to process and analyze the scan data directly within your automation pipelines. This ensures you're always aware of your organization's security posture without manual intervention.
Key Features
- Automated Scan Initiation: Trigger Qualys VM scans directly through the Qualys API.
- Dynamic Scan Configuration: Customize scans using asset groups, scan titles, and option profiles.
- Real-time Status Monitoring: Track scan progress and completion within n8n.
- XML to JSON Conversion: Effortlessly process Qualys API responses for easier data manipulation.
- Flexible Integration: Built to integrate with your existing n8n workflows.
How To Use
- Configure Qualys API Credentials: In n8n, set up a 'Qualys API' credential with your Qualys API details.
- Set Up the 'Start VM Scan in Qualys' Node: Configure the
platformurl,asset_groups,scan_title, andoption_titleusing your Qualys account information and desired scan parameters. - Define Scan Monitoring: The workflow includes a 'Wait 5 Min' node to pause before checking scan status. Adjust this duration as needed.
- Fetch Scan Results: The 'Fetch Scan Results' node uses the
scan_referencefrom the initial scan launch to retrieve the scan summary. Ensure theplatformurlis correctly configured. - Process and Analyze Data: Use the 'Convert XML to JSON' nodes to transform API responses. The 'Check if Scan Finished' node allows you to create conditional logic based on the scan status.
- Integrate with Other Nodes: Connect the output of this workflow to other n8n nodes for notifications (e.g., Slack), data storage, or further analysis.
