BladeLogic can pull vm data from Qualys via the API. It actually pulls scan results, not automatic data.
(https://blog.qualys.com/technology/2015/02/25/qualys-and-bmc-join-forces-to-close-the-secops-gap )
If we use cloud agent, how can we import continuously updating Qualys data into Bladelogic ?
I'd like to avoid a periodic vm scan in Qualys just to provide the latest info into Bladelogic.
Hi Damian,
Maybe you will find useful information on the link https://www.qualys.com/docs/qualys-ca-api-user-guide.pdf

Hii Stjepan,
Thanks for the link but the question was one for those using Bladelogic already and have agent.
BL seems to work by downloading scans only. Can it be made to work with Agent (where there is no scan to download).
I'm a prior user of Bladelogic, but we never did the integration you're referring to. If the BL task to pull Qualys data is provided by BL, it sounds like they need to update their method of pulling data to change from pulling raw scan data to pulling via the host detection API. They'll never see the agent scan data if all they're pulling are the raw scan results.
Thanks Jordan.
That's what I suspected. I'll see if I can connect with anyone techie from BL.
Correct, scan results will not get CA data, need to use the host detection API to get that.
