Turn on debug/trace logs
Using this option, you can set the log level to debug for Windows agents and trace for Linux agents for debugging purposes. This option prevents increasing the log level manually. This action can be performed for 100 agent hosts in one request. This change in the log level setting is logged in the agent logs.
Note: You need to revert the log level manually by disabling debug or trace level logs.
Disable self-protection
Using this option, you can access the agent data and artifacts required for debugging, such as log files. Once you click the Disable Self Protection option, self protection is disabled on the selected Cloud Agent host for two days. If you want to disable self protection for more than two days, refer to process of disabling the self-protection in Self-Protection Feature for an Agent.
This action can be performed for one Cloud Agent host in one request.
Note: This option is available only for Qualys Cloud Agent for Windows.
Restart agent service
Using this option, you can restart the Cloud Agent service. The Cloud Agent service restart can be performed for 100 agent hosts in one request.
