Qualys CAR 1.5 Release Notes 3
With this enhancement, you know the exact time required to execute scripts on hosts, which
improves visibility and helps you optimize the scripts, if required.
You can also search for asset jobs based on these new attributes using these newly added
QQL tokens:
Helps you find jobs that are completed within the specified time
or time range.
For example,
• To search for jobs that are completed within 10 to 40
seconds: durationInMillis:[10000 .. 40000]
• To search for jobs that are completed in less than 1200
seconds: durationInMillis:<1200000
Helps you find jobs that were executed at the specified date and
time.
You must provide the date in the 'YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.sss'
format. You can use quotes for an exact match.
This QQL also supports the following operators: >=, >, <, and <=.
For example,
• To search for jobs that were executed on September 21st
at 3:30 am: executionStartTime:"2022-09-
21T03:30:00.000"
• To search for jobs that were executed on September 21st
at or after 3:30 am: executionStartTime:" >= 2022-09-
21T03:30:00.000"
Other Improvements
• Previously, the maximum script size for Windows and Linux platforms was 75 KB and
500 KB, respectively. This release makes the script size uniform and the size limit for
Windows as well as Linux platforms is now 500 KB.
With this improvement, you can now create or import larger scripts without being
blocked due to size constraints.
• During script creation, you can specify the threshold time to indicate how long a
script must be in execution before it is timed out. Previously, the threshold time for
Windows and Linux platforms was 5 minutes and 60 minutes, respectively.
This release makes the value uniform for both the platforms and the threshold time
