Hello,

A LinearRing will always have an area of 0 because it is linear, not
polygonal. Having the start and end coordinates the same gives you a
closed ring but unless you create a Polygon or MultiPolygon with it
you still just have a line.

All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a
definitive record of customers, application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. Business sense. IT sense. Common sense.
