Hello,

I am looking to use a lookup in my search query. basically  in lookup, I have 2 rows for threshold  and I wanted to use them in my search query as 2 column.
Screenshot of csv and search query  requirement.

I tried like this. but not sure if there is better way to implement this requirement.

| appendcols
[| inputlookup test.csv
| table MetricName Threshold
| where MetricName="threads"
| rename Threshold as nbThreadsThreshold
]
| appendcols
[| inputlookup test.csv
| table MetricName Threshold
| where MetricName="openFiles"
| rename Threshold as nbOpenFilesThreshold
]
| filldown nbThreadsThreshold nbOpenFilesThreshold

 

 

Thanks

Can you please try this?

| appendcols [
| inputlookup test.csv | table MetricName Threshold | where MetricName IN ("threads","openFiles")
| transpose header_field=MetricName | table threads openFiles]
| filldown threads openFiles

 

Thanks
