Using a lookup to search another lookup

I have two lookups.  One consists of the allowed URLs.  The other consists of the URLs from a firewall.  For example in the first

 

google.com
dummy.com

 

 In the second

 

site1.google.com
site2.google.com

 

The first lookup is ingested from a file sent by the FW team.  I create the second lookup with this search

 

index=my_firewall sourcetype=my_sourcetype (rule=rule_1 OR rule=rule_2 OR rule=rule_3) [ | inputlookup external_url.csv ]
| fields url
| dedup url
| table url
| outputlookup external_results.csv

 

 This gives me the sites that have been reached over the time period.  Next I use this search

 

| inputlookup external_url.csv
| lookup external_results.csv url OUTPUTNEW url as isFound

 

I think this is giving me what I want, but I can't view the output the way I want.  I would like to see

 

allowed_url   fw_url   isFound

 

Using the sample data

 

google.com   site_1.google.com   true
google.com   site_2.google.com   true
dummy.com                        false

 

TIA,

Joe

With a little massaging of fields, we can get you the desired output.

| inputlookup external_url.csv
| lookup external_results.csv allowed_url as url OUTPUTNEW url as isFound
| eval fw_url=isFound, isFound=if(isnull(isFound),"false", "true")
| table allowed_url fw_url isFound
