We recently had Splunk PS help set up ES in our environment, but all of the managed look-ups the PS person created no longer work due to their account being removed.
We currently have >4500 identities in the "Watchlisted Identities" dataset where watchlist=true.
Our solution for fixing the orphaned look-ups is to re-create them, but before we do that we want to verify that the only way an identity in ES will have the Watchlist=true tag applied is through those managed lookups, not through an automated process.
If so, then we'll have the task of re-tagging all identities to "watchlist=false" before re-creating the look-ups.
