I got a search query but I need help displaying the failed scans of the IP or devices. What field I use for that particular search.

Question what is definition of a failed scan?

Are you referring to setting "Display unreachable host" = Enabled

Display unreachable hosts

Disabled

When enabled, hosts that did not reply to the ping request are included in the security report as dead hosts. Do not enable this option for large IP blocks.


I used to use this setting a lot back in the day;  This should show up in pluginID=19506.

Days since last observed should be more than that of last scan.

index=nessus sourcetype="tenable:sc:vuln"  pluginID=19506

going to need to compare a live/dead hosts pluginText in verbose and see which flag; shows up.  Then focus on the needed Rex;  next week before I can run a test scan if this is what is meant to dig any further
