What type of file are you processing? Network collection files containing Ethernet or wireless headers will produce more fruitful results as opposed to log files.

Have you checked the External Hosts tab? Assets that exist on the public Internet will most likely appear within this section.

If you've uploaded zeek logs, please make sure you created these files with mac logging enabled. This option will add layer 2 content to the conn.log file which will result in a more enriched network topology.

Use the following command to include mac logging in your zeek output:

# Example
$ zeek -C -r maccdc_demo.pcap policy/protocols/conn/mac-logging

The topology is ugly/cluttered
