Hi,
I'm adding a "Price" field to each product in the events. Therefore I'm using a lookup which includes the productname and the price.
| lookup Pricelist.csv productname OUTPUT price
Is there a way to add different prices for specific timeranges? For Instance, Product A had a price of 5.00 until 24.11.2013, but for events >=25.11.2013 I would like to have a value of 3.00 in all events including product A.
Perhaps using a second lookup in combination with something like "if _time>=X lookup Pricelist2.csv productname OUTPUT price"?
Thanks in advance
Hello
Probably it would be better to have only one lookup, and include the time, in epoch when the price changed. And then do a eval to see which price should be used
Regards
you cannot use a lookup in an eval.
if you lookup is timebased (fields _time, productname, price)
<mysearchwithfield_timeand_productname> | lookup pricelist.csv _time productname OUTPUT price | table _time productname price
Is it possible to use something like this?
| eval price=if(timestamp<1385251200, [|lookup pricelist.csv productname OUTPUT price], null())
This try returns an error:
"Error in 'eval' command: The expression is malformed. An unexpected character is reached at ') , null())'"
thanks for the input, I will keep that in mind. But at the moment I would prefer a fast ( and dirty) solution in the search string... 😉

The Knowledge Manager documentation contains details on setting up a time based lookup. Take a look at http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.0/Knowledge/Addfieldsfromexternaldatasources#Set_up_a_...

Do you mean a lookup like this?
productname, price, epochtime
ProductA, 5.00, 1385251200
ProductA, 3.00, 1385337600
How can I configure the lookup command what price to add to the field with an eval command?
