Qualys (VM Parser)
PlexTrac supports importing XML files from Qualys. Qualys VM Parser is a tool developed by Qualys to help customers import vulnerability data from various sources. The Qualys VM Parser can read and import scan data in multiple formats.
When importing a file from Qualys, whether for the VM parser or Web parser, select "Qualys" from the import pulldown menu, and PlexTrac will decide which mapping to use based on the fields in the imported file.
Below are the mappings of fields and any reference notes to provide context. If a field is not listed, then PlexTrac does not currently import.
