How to Generate a report - 1 field in index against multiple csv lookup fields

Hello, 

I require a report that can search a csv with multiple fields, against 1 field in  an index. 

The csv contains host data(ip, host, fqdn) in seprate columns. 

The index contains mixed data in the 'host' field. The host field contains ip, host and fqdn values) 

The report needs to generate a list of hosts (from the csv) that have NO EVENTS  logged. 

example csv contents (hosts.csv): 

ip_addresshost_namefqdn
10.1.2.3server1server1.shop.com
179.2.10.5computer1computer.shop.com
186.23.10.50server2server2.shop.com

 

example index events: 

host

10.1.2.3
computer1
computer.shop.com
server2.shop.com
186.23.10.50

Try this, Maybe little expensive but should work on a small data set

 | inputlookup yourlookup
 | eval host=mvappend(ip_address,host_name,fqdn)
 | mvexpand host
 | fields host
 | search NOT [ index=<your index> |stats count by host|search count>0|fields host]
