Connect Qualys VMDR to PostHog to sync your data into the PostHog data warehouse for analysis and modeling.

Enter your Qualys API credentials to sync your VMDR vulnerability management data into the PostHog Data warehouse.

Use your account's regional API server URL (for example qualysapi.qualys.com, qualysapi.qg2.apps.qualys.com, or qualysapi.qualys.eu) — you can find it under Help > About in the Qualys UI. The user needs API access enabled (a Manager role, or a role granted API access).

The knowledge_base table additionally requires the KnowledgeBase download option to be enabled on your Qualys subscription. On API version 4.0 it also needs your account's gateway URL (for example gateway.qg2.apps.qualys.com), which you can find under Help > About in the Qualys UI. Leave the gateway URL blank if you do not sync the knowledge_base table.
