Automate Asset Inventory
The Connector for Amazon continuously discovers Amazon EC2 and VPC assets using an Amazon API integration. Connectors may be configured to connect to one or more Amazon accounts to automatically detect and synchronize changes to virtual machine instance inventories from all Amazon EC2 Regions and Amazon VPCs.
AWS instances are tracked by their Amazon Instance ID within Qualys, even as their IP addresses change over time. Asset Tags, which can drive or influence policies and reporting throughout Qualys, may be automatically assigned to asset entries as part of the import process. Attributes and contextual metadata about Amazon instances are also captured and available as data points to perform further Dynamic Asset Tagging within Qualys.
For an EC2 instance, you can see the IP address, tags, private DNS name, EC2 Instance ID.
