How to connect Elasticsearch and Qualys

Step 1: Create a new workflow
Step 2: Add and configure nodes
Step 3: Connect
Step 4: Customize and extend your integration
Step 5: Test and activate your workflow

Step 1: Create a new workflow and add the first step

In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.

Step 2: Add and configure Elasticsearch and Qualys (using the HTTP Request node)

You can find Elasticsearch and Qualys nodes in the nodes panel and drag them onto your workflow canvas. Elasticsearch node comes with pre-built credentials and supported actions. Qualys can be set up with the HTTP Request node using a pre-configured credential type. The HTTP Request node makes custom API calls to Qualys. Configure Elasticsearch and Qualys nodes one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.

Step 3: Connect Elasticsearch and Qualys

A connection establishes a link between Elasticsearch and Qualys (or vice versa) to route data through the workflow. Data flows from the output of one node to the input of another. You can have single or multiple connections for each node.

Step 4: Customize and extend your Elasticsearch and Qualys integration

Use n8n's core nodes such as If, Split Out, Merge, and others to transform and manipulate data. Write custom JavaScript or Python in the Code node and run it as a step in your workflow. Connect Elasticsearch and Qualys with any of n8n’s 1000+ integrations, and incorporate advanced AI logic into your workflows.

Step 5: Test and activate your Elasticsearch and Qualys workflow

Save and run the workflow to see if everything works as expected. Based on your configuration, data should flow from Elasticsearch to Qualys or vice versa. Easily debug your workflow: you can check past executions to isolate and fix the mistake. Once you've tested everything, make sure to save your workflow and activate it.

Build your own Elasticsearch and Qualys integration

Create custom Elasticsearch and Qualys workflows by choosing triggers and actions. Nodes come with global operations and settings, as well as app-specific parameters that can be configured. You can also use the HTTP Request node to query data from any app or service with a REST API.

To set up Qualys integration, add the HTTP Request node to your workflow canvas and authenticate it using a predefined credential type. This allows you to perform custom operations, without additional authentication setup. The HTTP Request node makes custom API calls to Qualys to query the data you need using the URLs you provide.

Elasticsearch and Qualys integration details

With Elasticsearch, you can store, search, and analyze massive amounts of data fast and in near real-time, with results arriving in milliseconds. Because it searches an index rather than the text itself, it can produce quick search results.
