I’m trying to understand the Qualys SGC vs the bidirectional cmdb sync app. My current understanding is that the SGC is Qualys to SN only. But some people are telling me the SGC can sync certain attributes like support group, application team, and business criticality, which is what we are looking for.
this page from Qualys seems to imply that, but the doc link in the page actually goes to information on the bidirectional sync app.
https://www.qualys.com/connectors/servicenow-service-graph
I’m hoping someone here has some firsthand experience with this and can help me figure out the correct answer.

Hi @qwertyflop
Refer :
1. Qualys Doc: Get Started with Qualys CMDB Bi-directional Sync
2. Stored App: Qualys CMDB Bi-directional Sync
- Your global IT asset inventory is collected with Qualys sensors (scanners, agents, cloud connectors, passive sensors) and then synchronized into the CMDB.
- Asset information is automatically normalized for hardware and software.
- Asset information is automatically enriched with additional context such as lifecycle and support information, as well as license category.
- Preconfigured default mapping for all major CI classes.
- Preconfigured reports.
- For assets that already exist in your CMDB, only additional metadata is added.
- User can configure filters based on Qualys QQL to select which group of assets gets synchronized to the CMDB.
- Multiple synchronization schedules can be configured.
- Support for multiple Qualys subscriptions/API sources.
- Optionally, asset information can be staged for user approval before being written to CMDB.
- Missing CIs/IPs can be also exported into Qualys subscription with the ServiceNow-to-Qualys schedule option.
- For CIs that are already present in the Qualys platform, you can enrich the information in Qualys with Asset and Business Metadata and create Dynamic tags based on the business information.
- SSL certificates information can be synced to ServiceNow for the assets imported from Qualys.
- Sync Custom Attributes for CI's in ServiceNow to Qualys Sync Schedule.
