Lookup Monitoring - If they are empty os with errors?

Zarack

We need to know how to monitor lookups created inside splunk, checking if they are empty or with errors. We use REST (| rest /services/data/transforms/lookups | table eai:acl.app eai:appName filename title fields_list updated id) to bring up all Lookups, but how can we check if the lookups are wrong or empty?

What defines 'wrong' or 'error' in that context. Are you trying to validate data contents? If so, you'll need to fetch the lookup and validate as you need. 

You can do this to validate for empty CSVs

| rest /services/data/transforms/lookups 
| table eai:acl.app eai:appName filename title fields_list updated id * 
| where type="file" 
| map maxsearches=1000 search="| inputlookup $filename$ | stats count | where count = 0 | eval file=$filename$"

Sorry, in this case I meant that we also need to see if the Lookup was edited
