	Sample Observations
		Source IP	The source IP address of the connection when the evaluated desktop made an outbound request. This is typically an IP address associated with a firewall. The source IP and user-agent string are used to determine the OS and browser version.
		Target Host	The host that the browser connected with (if available). If we were able to collect target host information, it is useful for searching the firewall logs to determine which internal host made the connection. Search for the egress IP in the source IP field, the target host, and representative timestamp. Available in the SPM application.
		User Agent	User-agent string as sent by the browser.
		Timestamp	Date and time (in UTC) the traffic was observed.
