Help on inputlookup subsearch

Hi

I cross the results of a subsearch with a main search like this

index=toto [inputlookup test.csv

|eval user=Domain."\\"Sam

|table user]

|table _time user

Imagine I need to add a new lookup in my search 

For example i would try to do something like this 

index=toto [inputlookup test.csv OR inputlookup test2.csv

|eval user=Domain."\\"Sam

|table user]

|table _time user

How to do this please?

Hi @jip31,

you have to set the OR condition before the subsearch, something like this:

index=toto ([ | inputlookup test.csv OR inputlookup test2.csv | eval user=Domain."\\"Sam | table user ] OR [ | inputlookup test2.csv | eval user=Domain."\\"Sam | table user ])
| table _time user

Ciao.

Try this by combining the two lookups using append for the second lookup

index=toto [ 
  | inputlookup test.csv 
  | inputlookup test2.csv append=t
  | eval user=Domain."\\".Sam
  | table user]
| table _time user

I believe there is a missing '.' in your eval statement setting up user  and 'Sam' is a field name?

Just pointing out here that the statement

| inputlookup test.csv OR inputlookup test2.csv

is not valid Splunk - you cannot do two inputlookup commands like that.
