Loading lookup file...

lukeh — Thu, 22 May 2014 01:18:35 GMT

Hi 🙂

I am really impressed by this app but some larger lookup files don't load at all whereas some smaller lookup files do load ok. It gets stuck on "Loading lookup file..."

FYI: We are running Lookup File Editor 1.0 on Splunk 6.0.2

Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙂

Luke.

P.S. The lookup files do load ok in Sideview Utils Lookup Updater but your interface is cooler 😄

I'l take a look into improving this. I tested it with various browsers and lookup files and found that it reliably handled files up to 10 MB. I actually have a limit built-in so that it will show a warning if the file is too big.

Could you answer the following to help me narrow the problem down?

1) What browser are you using?
2) Are there any errors posted in the console? (in case the issue isn't related to the size of the lookup but due to some other problem)
3) How big is the lookup file?

2/ no
3/ one is 63 KB with 24 columns, and another is 1.73 MB with 2 columns

I solved this problem deleting the ownership assigned to the lookup file set in:

$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/myapp/metadata/local.meta

[lookups/xxxt.csv]
version = 5.0.3
export = system
owner = name <-- delete

I hope this help
