MuleSoft API Connector

What is the MuleSoft API Connector?

The MuleSoft API Connector integrates between your Anypoint Platform (MuleSoft) and Qualys TotalAppSec (TAS). Once configured, the connector imports your MuleSoft API infrastructure into Qualys for automated discovery, inventory, and scanning preparation.

Transform Maps

Map the fields from the CSV file to the corresponding fields in your target system. Transform Maps ensure the data is transformed correctly during the import or export process.

The TAS MuleSoft API Discovery offers an out-of-box transform map for you to proceed without further configuration. View the map to understand the data transformation. Customization is optional.

Profile Configuration

Create a profile for your connector. A profile decides the connector status, execution schedule and transform map to choose. The connector follows the configurations of this profile for all future executions.

  1. Click the "+" to create a new profile.
  2. In the Add Profile screen, provide the necessary inputs for your new profile.
  3. Provide a Name and Description.
  4. Select the required Transform Map for the data mapping.
  5. The Resource Types determine which resources to select for the profile. The Resource Type determine the required resource whose findings should be ingested by Qualys TAS.
  6. The Status field determines whether the connector should be in Active or Inactive state after creation. 

Lastly, the Schedule section lets you either create a Single Occurrence schedule or a Recurring schedule. Provide the exact date and time for the Single Occurrence execution and provide the Start and End date/time for the Recurring schedule.

Connector States

A successfully configured connector goes through 4 states:

  • Registered: The connector is successfully created and registered to fetch data from the vendor.
  • Scheduled: The connector is scheduled to execute a connection with the vendor.
  • Processing: A connection is executed and the connector is fetching the asset and findings data.
  • Processed: The connector has successfully fetched the assets, it may still be under process of fetching the findings. Wait for some more time for the connector to fetch the findings completely.

The Processed state indicates that the Connector is successfully configured but it is under the process of importing all your assets. This process may take some time.

Logs

You can check the logs for the connector configured under the Logs tab.
