I am seeing errors for some of the TRAFFIC entries in the log.  
Pipeline complains about:  
Object Object.getClass() because receiver is null

After breaking down the csv I found the following fields 12,13,19 were null in cases where the pipeline failed.

These are mapped while parsing TRAFFIC to:  
client.user.name: 12  
source.user.name: 12  
server.user.name: 13  
destination.user.name: 13  
panw.panos.destination.interface: 19  
observer.ingress.interface.name: 19

Is this a know issue?  
is there a solution for this?

Thanks in advance for your help.

(Moving post to SIEM category as that team at Elastic maintains this module)
