Log Source

When you install the application, it creates a new Log Source named QualysMultiline. Check if it is created. You can also create the custom log source for the Qualys application with the following steps.

Keep the configuration of the custom log source as follows:

  1. Qualys VM sends the data to the QRadar console. The user can use the application for distributed setup.
  2. From the console UI, go to Admin > Data Sources > Log Sources.
  3. Click Add.
  4. Add the details shown below to the form to Create QualysMultiline Log Source. All fields marked with an asterisk (*) are mandatory.
    Make sure your Log Source Name and Log Source Identifier have same value.
