External Lookup 100 row limit

ConsoleBotTryPC
Path Finder

Hi,

I am using an external lookup to basically run a Python script which runs an API call to return the results using a csv.dictwriter to the sys.stdout.

There are around 1250 rows being written to the console
But only the first 100 rows are being shown in Splunk.

How can I disable this 100-row limit on external lookups?

 

Thank you and have a nice day,

 

Best,

Also had found about the keyword to be added in transforations.conf

max_matches

but this has an upper limit of 1000. I need more...

You can't have more. You might be able to "walk around" this limitation by writing custom command - it's bound by other rules than scripted lookup.
