Default Asset Purge Rules
Qualys ETM provides the default purge rules listed below. All of them are disabled to begin with. Enable the ones you want, and they delete the matching assets from your asset inventory.
Review the description of a default rule and confirm that it matches how you track assets before you enable it, because the rule deletes every asset that meets its criteria when it runs.
