How to sync csv file with splunk and how to update splunk automatically when there is change in csv file ?

[nik2894]

csv file should be synced with splunk so that next time I changed the data in csv file, it should reflect automatically in splunk

Create a Lookup file on your search head and then link to this file by creating a Lookup table. Then, using the CLI on your Search Head, use soft link or rsysnc or other method, create your automatic synchronization of the files such that when the source file is updated, the Lookup file on the Search Head is also updated. You can also put a Deployment Server in the middle.
