How to resolve API Search Lookup ERROR?

Hi, 

We are doing consults via API with the query: 

index=_internal sourcetype=splunk_python subject |fields subject,recipients | where subject like "%ORION%"'

But when we try to collect the results, give us an error from a lookup that is not part of the original search.

Via web the search is working fine, but the problem is via API.

Have you experienced something like that?

Thanks!

Hi, 

when searching via API you are providing parameters:

cparams = { "host" : lconfig["host"],
"port" : lconfig["port"],
"username" : lconfig["user"],
"password" : lconfig["password"],
"app" : lconfig["app"] }

most propably you are not using same user or correct app context. 

check index=_audit and/or index=_internal sourcetype=splunkd_access + username..

best regards,

Andreas
