Trending in Unified Dashboard

The Trending toggle lets you view the data trend of the inputs you provide in your query. This toggle is only available for the Count and Ratio function type of the Numerical widget. You can view the Trending data of a single query or multiple queries. If you export a .JSON file of a dashboard or widget with the Trending toggle enabled the imported dashboard or widget will also have Trending enabled. However, the Trending data is not exported or imported. 

The Trendline Color Mapping section allows you to change the color of the trendline. Click on the displayed color to view the options from the Color Picker. 

Trending is available for CSAM, EDR, TP, PC and VM applications.

 Qualys stores only the counts from query results displayed in widgets, as the data is continuously updated. Widgets are intended for informational purposes and do not keep historical snapshots of processed data. Therefore, you may notice trendline variations for asset count, vulnerabilities, or TruRisk. For accurate tracking of changes, it's advisable to download daily reports for future reference.
