Findings and Insights

Let’s see the detailed steps for viewing VM and PC findings and insights on the AWS S3 console.

View Findings on AWS S3 Console

You can view the Qualys findings on the AWS console. Before you view the AWS S3 console findings, ensure that you have met the pre-requisites, completed all the configurations with AWS S3 and Qualys, and have data available in your Qualys subscription.

VM Findings:

In the ‘qualys_vm_findings/’ directory, Qualys creates date-wise sub-directories in the YYYY-MM-DD format. You can see VM findings in the <UUID>.gz or <UUID>.json format in these directories, depending on whether compression is enabled.

Folder structure in the S3 bucket:

• Folder 1: findings/<YYYY-MM-DD>/
• Folder 2 : vuln_info/vm
• File: test-file.gz (This file is used for connection validation by Qualys.)

PC Posture Data:

In the ‘qualys_pc_posture_info/’ directory, Qualys creates date-wise sub-directories in YYYY-MM-DD format. In these directories, you can see PC postures in format <UUID>.gz or <UUID>.json depending on whether compression is enabled. These postures are batched; hence they might contain posture info for multiple assets.

Folder structure in the S3 bucket:

• Folder 1: qualys_pc_posture_info/<YYYY-MM-DD>/
• File 2: test-file.gz/test-file.json
