Getting Data In

Src IP is showing up as dash (hyphen)

I'm trying to troubleshoot an repeated authentication failure by specific users(s). When I try to filter the search with (user account status=failure) I see all failure events with the details below.

host - domain controllers (AD servers) of that region where user is in
source - WinEventLog:Security
sourcetype - WinEventLog:Security

Only concern is, i don't see the src_ip field showing any IP address. It just has a dash (hyphen)

The other fields are fine as listed below.
src - domain controllers
src_ip - dash (hypen)
src_user - account name of the user in the AD

Can someone help why the src_ip isn't populating ? Is that because Splunk couldn't determine it ? or any config tweaks has to be done ?

Please help !

It's not a Splunk problem. - is what Windows provided for an IP address in the event.
