Enable FIM in a CA configuration Profile
As part of cloud agent installation and setup, be sure to enable FIM for the cloud agent's configuration profile and review/update FIM configuration settings as appropriate.
- Toggle Enable FIM module for this profile to ON. This is required for FIM event data collection to occur.
- Configure what FIM artifacts are transmitted to the Qualys Cloud Platform. Defaults are provided as shown, so this step is optional. You can configure values for event log size, threshold time, disk usage.
We recommend you set up asset tags for your FIM assets using Qualys CyberSecurity Asset Management (CSAM). This makes it easy to associate FIM assets with a CA configuration profile and a FIM monitoring profile - just apply the same FIM tags to these profiles.

- Payload threshold time is hit
