--- title: Qualys Vulnerability Report Setup Guide slug: rbvm-help/qualys-vulnerability-report-setup-guide createdAt: 2026-10-26T13:51:24.187Z --- **Summary**: How to set up a vulnerability report in Qualys. ## Qualys Vulnerability Manager Overview Qualys Vulnerability Management provides asset discovery and vulnerability assessment for on-premises and cloud environments. The RiskSense platform supports client “connector” configurations to provide a scheduled upload of Qualys network scan information. When looking at the RiskSense API Connectors page, it records and displays the last time data from the Qualys connector has been uploaded. ## Qualys Vulnerability Report Template Overview This guide allows the user to set up a Qualys Vulnerability report that will allow the RiskSense platform to pull the maximum amount to data from the Qualys platform. Once the report has been set up and the cadence set the Qualys File Pickup connector can be configured in RiskSense. ### Report Template Setup Log in to the Qualys web user interface (UI). ::Image[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/9rfvxhrv8FA-8bxcK2IRv/xZIr7e-P1gW3jYKREycyp_qualys-vulnerability-report.png" alt="Qualys Vuln Report - Login Screen" position="flex-start" size="61" width="424" height="360" initialPath="Resources/Images/RS KB Mirror for Ivanti - 2022/Qualys Vulnerability Report.png" githubPath="RBVM_14.70_help/Resources/Images/RS KB Mirror for Ivanti - 2022/Qualys Vulnerability Report.png" showCaption="false"} Navigate to **Reports->Templates**. ::Image[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/9rfvxhrv8FA-8bxcK2IRv/mUnZjwvYY0KhKMvCn7Wof_qualys-vulnerability-report1.png" alt="Qualys Vuln Report - Reports and Templates Locations" position="flex-start" size="98" width="685" height="151" initialPath="Resources/Images/RS KB Mirror for Ivanti - 2022/Qualys Vulnerability Report_1.png" githubPath="RBVM_14.70_help/Resources/Images/RS KB Mirror for Ivanti - 2022/Qualys Vulnerability Report_1.png" showCaption="false"} Select **New** and click **Scan Template…**. ::Image[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/9rfvxhrv8FA-8bxcK2IRv/vMnPbMUvylymrmeMn8Etx_qualys-vulnerability-report2.png" alt="Qualys Vuln Report - New Scan Template Location" position="flex-start" size="98" width="683" height="367" initialPath="Resources/Images/RS KB Mirror for Ivanti - 2022/Qualys Vulnerability Report_2.png" githubPath="RBVM_14.70_help/Resources/Images/RS KB Mirror for Ivanti - 2022/Qualys Vulnerability Report_2.png" showCaption="false"} Navigate through the wizard and use the values from the screenshot below.
