Debugging and Troubleshooting

In this section, you get the solutions for debugging and troubleshooting issues.

How to Debug

In case of any unexpected application behavior, you can check the application logs. The application log has four different levels of logging: Information, Error, Warning, Debug. The application writes log entries after important transitions.

Configure Logging

From the Qualys Core application, click Diagnostics > Logging Configuration. In the Qualys for ServiceNow Logging page, select Debug in the Logging Level field.

set_logging_level

View Logs

To view the logs, navigate to System Logs > All, and filter with Qualys Core as App Scope.

If Find CI Functionality Breaks

If the Find CI functionality is breaking, ensure that you have added 'Manual Entry' as Choices in the Discovery Source (column) of the configuration item that means cmdb_ci table.

Perform the following steps to add choices: 

  1. Go to System Definition > Tables and search for configuration item table. In the table, open the discovery source column.
  2. Click New under the choice section, add 'Manual Entry' as Label and 'Manual Entry' as Value, and click Submit.

Known Issues

The FIM API does not support the 'updatedDate' filter. Hence, the Qualys Core app can not currently show the state transition of the synced incident on the Qualys UI.
