Remove QCSA Packages

Once the QCSA packages are installed, their rpms are no longer needed. When Containerized scanner checks for updates. It also checks for rpms older than 90 and removes them. You can manually remove rpms as per requirement.
The rpms are stored in <Path to shared/common directory>/admin/packages.

In the above example /usr/qualys/common/ is docker shared/common directory.

The sample commands utilize Docker Engine as the container runtime, but they can also be executed using Podman.
The default PID limit (total number of processes and threads to run inside a container) for Podman is 2048. If the Docker host already has active processes, this limit may prevent the QCSA containerized scanner from running larger scans. To avoid this restriction when using Podman, we recommend running the QCSA containerized scanner with the --pid-limit -1 option.

For detailed information on the QCSA command parameters used in examples, refer to Containerized Command Components.
