Noticed null values (Φ) appearing in our Google SecOps dashboard what this means exactly.
Page 1 / 1
In the context of security operations and data analysis, seeing "null" values in your Google Security Operations dashboard generally means that there is an absence of data for a particular field or metric. It indicates that the expected information is not present or available.
Here are some common reasons why you might encounter null values:
- Data not collected: The specific data point might not have been collected or logged for a particular event or activity. For example, if a system doesn't record the username for a certain type of login attempt, the "username" field might be null.
- Event type mismatch: The field might not be relevant for a particular type of event. For instance, a network connection event might not have a "username" associated with it.
- Data processing issues: There might be an error in the data processing pipeline that prevents the data from being extracted or populated correctly.
- Configuration problems: The system or tool generating the data might not be configured to collect the specific information.
- Incomplete or missing information: The source of the data might simply not have the information available.
This seems to be related to missing location/geo data. That data does not exist in the event.
