Where Qualys Cloud Agent keeps its logs

Qualys Cloud Agent logs to %PROGRAMDATA%\Qualys\QualysAgent\Log.txt on Windows. 1 other Windows log location is recorded below.

Paths are printed exactly as Qualys Cloud Agent writes them. Environment variables like %LOCALAPPDATA% and $XDG_STATE_HOME are never expanded, so a path can be pasted straight into a shell. Where a path differs between installer types or shipping flavours, each one is racked as its own card below - why that happens.
