Hi ,

I am not able to get the Nessus scan data ( Only informational Events ), whereas the Nessus result has medium and high count.
Also, when I search for sourcetype=nessus:plugin, there is no result popping up.

Hi himapate,

Are you sure you have collected data of the nessus:plugin sourcetype? The add-on supports four nessus/tennable source types; make sure you are using the right source type.

Thanks!
