It looks to classify an alert based on the value from the event. Example: IT, Security. Classification value is a mandatory field for the alert to be created. If you are mapping the Classification to a null value in the event transform rule, Alert creation will fail with the mentioned exception. Resolution Do not map classification to null in your event transform rule.
