Getting Data In

Why in my ingest_time lookup - field does not show up?

Hello colleagues,

we've implemented the ingest_time lookups but unfortunately the expected field from the configured csv-lookup does not show up in our searches.

Following implementation steps were executed:

1. props.conf & transforms.conf prepared and stored under $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local on all indexer nodes within the cluster.
2. index_lookup.csv prepared and stored under $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/lookups on all indexer nodes within the cluster.
3. Rolling restart of the nodes
4. fields.conf prepared and deployed via SHD to our SHs

props.conf:

[aws:cloudwatch]
TRANSFORMS-define_index = define_rds_index

transforms.conf:

[define_rds_index]
INGEST_EVAL = test_index=json_extract(lookup("index_lookup.csv", json_object("account_id", account_id), json_array(index_tag)),"index_tag")

index_lookup.csv:

account_id index_tag
886089063862 index_platform-sandbox-dev

 

fields.conf:

[test_index]
INDEXED = True

 

Has anyone an idea if we missed a step or something is misconfigured? Thank you very much!

Check the permissions of the lookup, if you have read permissions to the lookup, also check if this lookup has permission to view across apps.

The lookup is set up on the indexer nodes.  Read and write permissions are  set.

See if this makes any difference:

transforms.conf (adding double quotes around output field):

[define_rds_index]
INGEST_EVAL = test_index=json_extract(lookup("index_lookup.csv", json_object("account_id", account_id), json_array("index_tag")),"index_tag")

@somesoni2 Thanks for your answer! Unfortunately it doesn't solve it.

Here is an example event:

{"Average": 4.975, "Maximum": 5.0, "Minimum": 4.95, "SampleCount": 2.0, "Sum": 9.95, "Unit": "Percent", "account_id": "886089063862", "metric_dimensions": "DBInstanceIdentifier=[aric664tyxxx]", "metric_name": "CPUUtilization", "period": 120, "timestamp": "2022-03-31T15:48:00Z"}

Can you confirm (via running btool on your sourcetype) if you've INDEXED_EXTRACTION=json?

Yes, correct. The parameter comes with the Splunk_TA_aws.

@somesoni2 Do we must disable the INDEXED_EXTRACTIONS and apply manually all parsing & formatting parameter?
