QUESTION

When I go to Data Explorer in the Panther Console and view my ingested events that have field names that contain links, how come the links say "slash" instead of containing the character "/"?

ANSWER

Panther replaces certain characters in field names to become valid identifiers in the data lake. This makes it possible to query altogether. 

Snowflake allows special characters in identifiers only if you wrap the field name in quotes. Athena does not allow special characters in identifiers.
