Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by reproducing an empty-string log attribute in Grafana with VictoriaLogs, then trace it through the export, collection, and processing stages mentioned in the report. Done means establishing whether this is expected and identifying where the attribute is lost or documenting the confirmed behavior.

Description

need more info question vl-datasource

We have been experiencing a problem when looking at logs in Grafana from Victoria logs, such that log attributes with a value of an empty string are missing. They are getting stripped out somewhere in the process. We have investigated how we export, collect, and process logs and can't seem to find the culprit. I am raising this issue here to see if this is expected behavior and to see if anyone else has come across this issue?
