Eval-ingest and lookup command in Splunk Cloud

Hello,

Anyone knows if we can use eval-ingest with lookup command in Splunk Cloud?

The problem is that in Splunk Cloud we can only add configuration via custom app in SH. 

Eval-ingest in general working, but when I'm trying to use lookup command I'm receiving error that lookup was not found. I guess that problem is in this that lookup is on SH level, not on IDX level.

but maybe I'm doing something wrong.

Fields.conf - ok

props.conf - ok

transforms.conf - ok for simple eval-ingest without lookup command

 

Example from transforms.conf

[test_lookup_manual2]
INGEST_EVAL = test_lookup=json_extract(lookup("test.csv",json_object("hostname_test",hostname_test), json_array(value)),"value")

 

lookup added in directory lookups, permissions are ok, visible in splunk from every context

  • If the data is being ingested into Splunk Enterprise, then in the transforms.conf file, you can configure an ingest-time eval that uses the lookup() eval function. This configuration method is only supported in Splunk Enterprise, not Splunk Cloud Platform. For more information, see the rest of the current documentation page.
  • If you have access to the Edge Processor solution, you can use an Edge Processor to apply lookups to your data before routing that data to Splunk Enterprise or Splunk Cloud Platform. For more information, see About the Edge Processor solution and Enrich data with lookups using an Edge Processor in the Use Edge Processors manual.
