Greetings:
i got detailed report in xml format by gmp.get_reports(details=1)
i got below reports as picture 1. but i notice that the result count is 285 where filtered is 13.
I noticed the filtered result is the same as alive host. as the second picture.
could you help to explain the filtered logic? what’s hidden from the 285-13 results?
thanks a lot!

one guess: is the 285 means. all 285 nvts scanned? and 13 out of them hit with positive response?

I believe that the the unfiltered results will include log items, which would make up the majority of the discrepancy you see. To see those results, enable log level items in the filter.
