Oh I see you want to perofrm input lookups from javascript.

Have you run through the custom viz tutorial http://dev.splunk.com/view/SP-CAAAEQ8 ?

There should be some info there.

The excel csv files , where splunk stores field values in from saved searches in Splunk.
Example ; xvz.csv

Below is how we are currently pulling these index values from the .csv (using xml) but I would like to pull those same index fields from that same .csv file using javascript in Splunk

   <param name="search"><![CDATA[

| inputlookup xvz.csv | fillnull value=* | fields Index, sourcetype, env, jvm_name]]>


  1. dedup sourcetype | sort sourcetype dropBox 6
  2. sourcetype sourcetype sourcetype=$value$ Sourcetype
