Note: File Name and other fields related to file inspection and file type controls will only populate for events involving file access that match private access rules with File Inspection or File Type Control enabled. If no private access rules have File Inspection or File Type Control enabled, the file name and extension fields will remain blank for events with the Firewall request type.
