Importing lookup table to Splunk lookup table file editor

Is it possible to import an already created lookup table into the Splunk lookup file editor without having to create a new one in the editor? If it is possible, how do I do it?

Hi @waJesu,

you have two choices:

  • create a new lookup clicking on "Create a new Lookup" from the Lookup Editor app and importing and saving the csv file,
  • import the lookup from the Settings menu: [Settings > Lookups > Lookup Table Files > New Lookup Table Files].

In both cases, remember to create the Lookup Definition, because it isn't automatic.

Ciao.

Hi Giuseppe

I already have a lookup table created. My question is if it is possible to import that into the Splunk Lookup file editor and not create a new one from there.

Hi @waJesu ,

yes, in the right top of the Splunk Editor dashboad there's the Import button.

Ciao.

I am not sure why I don't have the import button on my instance.
