What's New

The following are the enhancements and improvements in the latest releases:

Version 2.8.0

Release Date: April 18, 2025

The following are the improvements we have made in Qualys CMDB Sync App 2.8.0:

In this release,

• Added validation for executing the ADD IP API call to ensure that at least a VM or PC is selected for the ServiceNow to Qualys sync. If unmanaged assets exist in ServiceNow and neither a VM nor a PC is selected, the scheduled API call to sync ServiceNow with Qualys does not execute. This validation helps prevent the empty response. For such unexecuted API calls, the event is logged with the validation reason in the application logs for better traceability.

• Added three new flags for IRE Updates on the Qualys CMDB Sync Properties page. Using these flags, you can decide whether to change the hierarchy of the assets while updating or switching assets.

  The following are the newly added flags:

  • IRE - Update without Downgrade
  • IRE - Update Without Upgrade
  • IRE - Update without Switch
  For more details, refer to Update Properties.
• Added two new fields, Organization Name and Qualys Unique Asset ID, on the Qualys Assets page. Additionally, on this page, the five new tabs are added to access the detailed asset information.
  • Sensor Information
  • Agent Information
  • Hardware Taxonomy
  • Last Location
  • Criticality

  

  To view these tabs, navigate to the Approve Qualys Asset table and select the asset.
  For more details, refer to View Asset Details.

• Fixed an issue of duplicate software records in the Software Catalogs table.
• Implemented minor improvements and bug fixes.

Version 2.7.0

Release Date: January 22, 2025

The following are the improvements we have made in Qualys CMDB Sync App 2.7.0:

In this release,

• A new feature for One-Way Sync has been added. Using this feature Qualys CMDB app on the ServiceNow platform can sync the Asset Metadata and Business Information to Qualys without updating the CI records in CMDB.
