How run nslookup on lookup

NHLaurent

I have a lookup of ip addresses, I want to use the nslookup command resolve the hostnames. Is there a way to run that against the dest field

| inputlookup "ipnl.csv"
| fields dest
| nslookup ????
| outputlookup "dns.csv"

Thanks

Ever since about splunk v5 it is built-in; just use it like this:

| inputlookup ipnl.csv
| fields dest 
| lookup dnslookup clientip AS dest OUTPUT clienthost AS desthost
| outputlookup dns.csv

You need to use the custom lookup command instead.

See https://lukemurphey.net/projects/network-tools/wiki/Using_Lookups for details.

You would need to do something like this:

| inputlookup "ipnl.csv" 
| fields dest 
| lookup nslookup host as dest
| table _raw aaaa a mx ns server
