What assets are included?

The assets inventory gives you a comprehensive view of your network that is continuously updated. You'll see all assets (IP addresses, web sites) that have been scanned using Qualys external scanners, scanner appliances and/or cloud agents.

I'm not seeing any assets. What should I do?

Do one of these things:

Launch scans

Install agents

How do I view security data for an asset?

Just hover over the asset name in the list and choose "View Asset Details" from the Quick Actions menu.  

Where do tags come from?

You can create tags on the Tags tab. We create some tags automatically like Asset Groups, Business Units, and Cloud Agent.

How do I add tags to an asset?

Locate the asset you want to tag and click the link "Add tags". Use the Search field to find the tag you want, select it and then click the Add tag button. Show me

Tell me about full text search

Many asset fields used to search text support full text search. This actually broadens your search in many cases and can be helpful for finding what you're interested in. These searches return more results than you would expect unless you use backticks. Learn more

Can I purge assets from my assets list?

You can purge/uninstall cloud assets and cloud agents when this feature is enabled for your subscription. Go here to learn about purging assets and setting up purge rules.
