Getting Data In

HEC replacing underscore (_) with space ( )

I'm working with Proofpoint Threat Response events that are being sent to our instance of Splunk using an HEC connection.  The part of the threat response event

 

u'incident_field_values': [{u'name': u'Severity', u'value': u'Informational'},

 

The raw Splunk event

 

"incident field values": [{"name": "Severity", "value": "Informational"},

 

As far as I know the HEC shouldn't do any translation so how did incident_field_values become the same name using spaces instead of underscores?  The version is 7.3.6.

TIA,

Joe
