Release 2.2.1
August 08, 2024
What's New?
Introduced New Parameterized Scripts in the Script Library
With this release, we have introduced new Parameterized Scripts, which are accessible via the Script Library tab. This feature allows Manager users to customize the script's parameters to meet specific requirements.
Benefits
- Enhanced Flexibility and Usability
This feature improves the management of script parameters. Users can adjust script parameters even after running, providing a solution for optimizing script performance based on real-time needs. - Streamlined Workflow
The ability to modify parameters post-run simplifies workflow processes, giving greater control and efficiency in script parameters management.
How to Use
To use Parameterized Script, import the desired script from the Library tab. The Parameterized Script is available in the Scripts tab once imported. You can edit the parameters as required from the Scripts tab.
To learn more about using this feature, refer to CAR Online help.
Additional Support Features for Parameterized Scripts
- A new Show Parameterized Scripts toggle is added to both the Library and Scripts tab. You can filter the scripts using this toggle.
- You can use the
hasParameters:token to search the Parameterized Scripts in Scripts Tab.
- Upon importing Parameterized Script, a Pending Update status is displayed, indicating that parameter modifications are pending and can be made as needed.
New Token for Scripts Tab
| Token/Description | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| hasParameters: | Use the token value as true or false to get list of the parameterized scripts on script listing page. | hasParameters: |
Removal of the End Date Field from Script Scheduling
The End Date field is no longer required when scheduling a script. This improvement addresses the issue of mandatory end dates, making it easier for you to set up scripts to run for an indefinite period. Now, you can schedule recurring jobs without worrying about specifying an end date upfront. If it becomes necessary to stop using a script in the future, you can easily deprecate it at that time.
API Enhancements
With this release, we have added two new APIs in Script-based APIs collection.
- Get Script Parameters API
You can use this API to get a list of script parameters.
- Update Script Parameters API
You can use this API to update script parameters.
For detailed information on these APIs, refer to the Qualys Custom Assessment and Remediation 2.2 .1 API Release Notes.
Issue Addressed
- We made relevant code changes to resolve an issue where users encountered an error while selecting assets when editing the existing schedule.
