Hello can you help I am not the most technical and I have signed up to the UAT of Splunk.

Logged on as a Administrator and built a dashboard simply form a CSV file use in the Add Data Functionality path of creating a dashboard.

So I have a LIVE environment and when I go to add data this is not available, I see I have to add data using a Lookup functionality?  I only want to create a dashboard based on a CSV that is it. 

I am little confused training one way and not having this functionality available to me in Live? 

I might be confused myself can you help. Do I need a lookup ?  Plus when I uploaded file I get this error via the Lookup method of the flat CSV file I want to use.  The File does not contain any invalid characters.  

 

I am little bit nervous about what I have to do and I am confused on how this system

Please Please can you help...

Encountered the following error while trying to save: Invalid name: only alphanumeric characters, '-', '_', and '.' are allowed.
