Qualys App - How to force the downloading of all data assets in Splunk?

Hello,

I'm using Qualys App in order to import vulnerabilities data in Splunk for reporting.

Since about 2 months, I can see a discrepancy between datas in the DB Splunk and Qualys. Some assets in Splunk are missing.

I have checked, and :
-> it isn't a problem of rights of the qualys API account
-> I don't see any error messages in Splunk
-> I don't hit the Qualys API limit.

I guess it's a problem of "delta" download, but I'm not sure.

Does it exist a way to force the Qualys App in Splunk to force the downloading of all the datas (not only the new datas) ?

Thanks a lot for your help

Best regards,

Cyrille

Can you confirm the following . I assume you are using /api/2.0/fo/asset/host/vm/detection/ API.

  1. Version of Qualys App

  2. Is the data input enabled on your Splunk instance ?

  3. Are you pulling vulnerabilities data for the first time or doing a delta pull ? if you already have data pulled from earlier API pull, the checkpoint file shall have the date of when the last run happened.

Now, to answer your question 'Does it exist a way to force the Qualys App in Splunk to force the downloading of all the datas (not only the new datas) ? '

  1. The checkpoint file is located at /opt/splunk/var/lib/splunk/modinputs/qualys/filename . If you are ok with pulling entire data again, delete that file specific to your input.

  2. Restart your splunk instance so that app repolls the data .

Tips to check data pull

  1. The older app had a script, which was used to debug the data pulling operations. If your SPLUNK_HOME is /opt/splunk, then from SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/TA-QualysCloudPlatform run following command - /opt/splunk/bin/splunk cmd python ./bin/run.py -h

  2. Check if there are any API errors at /opt/splunk/var/log/splunk/ta_QualysCloudPlatform.log

Hope this helps solve your question. If not , request you to provide more information on the questions above. Thanks.
