# Configure the Qualys Vulnerability Integration using Setup Assistant

# Configure the Qualys Vulnerability Integration using Setup Assistant {#ariaid-title1}

* Release version: Australia
* 
* Updated March 12, 2026
* 
* ![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 2 minutes to read

After you have installed the Qualys application, configure it using
the Setup Assistant.

## Before you begin

Use the following sections to supplement the instructions and prompts provided in
Setup Assistant for configuration of the Qualys Vulnerability Integration.

* Verify you have already installed the application before you begin. For more information, see [Install Vulnerability Response third-party applications using Setup Assistant](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/4SVUHu2n7I65KBpfqP4EBg "Install the third-party integration applications you have entitlement for in Vulnerability Response using the Setup Assistant.").
* See [Preparing for the Qualys Vulnerability Integration](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/zjf0n0WzU6XQzg0uE~KenA "A successful integration requires planning and careful execution of pre-integration tasks. It is essential that you prepare for the integration by performing these procedures. The Qualys Vulnerability Integration assumes that you are familiar with and run Qualys Cloud Platform scans in your environment.") for more information before you configure the Qualys Vulnerability Integration.
* Verify you have any third-party account credentials available. They are required to edit some third-party applications.

{#qualys-config-in-SA__ul_gg2_lt4_ymb}

Roles required: System admin (admin) for installation, Vulnerability Admin
(sn_vul.vulnerability_admin) or sn_vul.admin (deprecated) for configuration.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllVulnerability ResponseAdministrationSetup AssistantIntegration ConfigurationScanner Integrations.  
   The installed integrations are displayed.
2. Click Edit to the right of the Qualys Vulnerability Integration you want to configure.
3. In the Account Credentials form, enter your Qualys Cloud Platform credentials.  
   Your credentials are required to configure it.
4. Use the following notes as a guide as you continue with the configuration.  
   * The Advanced Settings link points you to the Qualys Integration record. You can add parameters that are supported by the Qualys product for your scheduled queries to help you filter the vulnerability data you import. See [Set additional filter parameters for Qualys imports](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/dE0qeZ5AW5FIhJd6oryeAw "Customize the filtering parameters for your scheduled queries with the Qualys Vulnerability Integration to help you further refine the vulnerability data you import with the supported Qualys integrations.") for more information.
   * If you have upgraded from an earlier version of Vulnerability Response with a version of the Qualys Vulnerability Integration you've already configured, that version, with its configuration settings preserved, is still available.

     Under Import Settings in Host Detection Configuration
     for the Qualys Vulnerability Integration, there is an option to
     view fixed Qualys vulnerability detection records. If
     enabled, this permits you to create vulnerable items from detection
     records in a fixed status (state=Fixed). For
     more information on vulnerable item detections, see [Vulnerability Response vulnerable item detections from third-party integrations](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/vsMrT2Y7i4P3GkXCPkPQfw "View all of the information that is gathered by third-party scans in your ServiceNow AI Platform instance. View the returned results of the scans on detection and vulnerable item (VI) records in your instance as these results are viewed on the scanners.").

     You can activate the Lookup By Network Partition check box on the Host Detection
     Configuration page to include the network partition identifier in
     the IP address lookup. See [Update configuration items with the network partition identifier for the Qualys Vulnerability Integration](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/Y1OOePfFFq29FbeKheP00Q "Create unique configuration items (CIs) for assets in your environment that share IP addresses. Identify the distinct assets across your environment and automatically update the CIs on your existing discovered item, vulnerable item, and detection records to give you more details about your vulnerabilities.")
     for more information.  
     All host tags are imported as part of the Qualys Host List integration. Host tags are used primarily for filtering in Vulnerability Response Assignment and Remediation Task Rules. They are displayed in the Discovered Item form.  
     Note:  
     The Qualys Host List integration should be run prior to creating Assignment or Remediation Task Rules in Vulnerability Response so that all tags can be present in the rules and before vulnerable items are imported and grouped.

     Qualys
     Asset Tags are stored in the Host Tags module
     under the Qualys Vulnerability Integration.
   * The Qualys Vulnerability Integration supports multi-source. You can have multiple deployments of the same third-party integration. To add another integration, on the Scanner Integrations page, click Add Integration.  
     The settings from your original third-party integration are used as a template for the settings of each new integration.  
     Note:  
     If you delete the original vulnerability integration, you have to select another integration to use as your template. Consider disabling the integration instead of deleting it. Integrations created from disabled templates are disabled by default.

     Data from each third-party integration is uniquely
     identified and available in a single instance of Vulnerability Response.
   * You can execute imports on-demand by clicking Execute Now on a configuration page.
