Username in Audit Reports show "not available"

Why does the audit reports have entries under the username that show as "not available"?

The reason why there are entries as "not available" are that these are associated to bad logins into the C10 environment. If a user tried to login with invalid user credentials or no credentials, the audit database will capture these as entries with the username "not available".

This however can be filtered from the report if it is not desired to see data associated to bad logins.

Example: [Audit].[User Logins].[User name] not in ('not available')
