- Statement
- Asset Definition and QLU Calculation (VMDR): QLU Consumed = (A + B - C) x QLU ratio. A1 counts every asset that has had a Qualys Agent installed and reported at any time in the term, once per Agent ID regardless of current status; A2 adds scanner-discovered assets not in A1; B counts cloud assets per instance ID, including those terminated during the term; C deducts ghost assets. Policy Audit uses the same method. (page last updated June 2026; as published on 2026-09-27)
