What traffic source is “dnl”?

What traffic source is “dnl” in GA4 under Source Aquisition? After “(not set),” today’s top session source is “dnl.” It’s five times as much as Google search. I recognize the other traffic sources: direct, facebook, bing, yahoo, but not dnl.

GA4 Measurement via standard HTTP Request

I am using GA4 Event Builder to understand how I can do a vanilla HTTP POST request to record a GA4 event. I used the builder to input what I believe to be the correct “Measurement ID” and “API Secret“. All the other details such as Client ID and User ID are just arbitrary inputs. When I press the “Validate Event” button on the Event Builder, it pauses for a moment and keeps returning the “This event has not been validated” message.
