If you need to force a scan from your intel agents here is a guide on how to do it.
Windows – Make sure that you run the following command on each device individually and keep them connected to the Internet for about 2-4 hours. This command will activate a new scan on the hosts and after 2 hours we’ll get the latest data to make a new report:
reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Qualys\QualysAgent\ScanOnDemand\Vulnerability /v ScanOnDemand /t reg_dword /d 1
Mac/Linux– you can try and force the agent to scan on demand by issuing the following command in the Terminal program when logged in with an account that has sudo privileges:
sudo /Applications/QualysCloudAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/cloudagentctl.sh action=demand type=vm
The path and permissions may differ slightly depending on the Linux distribution.
