Good Morning and thank you for your reply. I am trying to take the vulnerability assessment data out of Qualys using their rest API and get that into Elasticsearch. I can envision two ways to do this...1. I think the best method is to find some internal process within Elasticsearch to make a periodic call to Qualys using its API to get that vulnerability data OR 2. I could envision a JSON or XML file being created by Qualys that I could pick up with Filebeat to send to Elasticsearch. Thanks again, looking forward to your thoughts.... --- _[View the full topic](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/qualys-api-integration-into-elasticsearch/219888)._
