Props.conf
[OktaIM2:log]
LOOKUP-network_whitelist = network_whitlist_def Source_IP AS x OUTPUTNEW Source_Name

sourcetype=OktaIM2:log client.ipAddress="18.130.101.34" | spath path=client{}.ipAddress output=x | lookup network_whitelist.csv Source_IP AS x OUTPUTNEW Source_Name AS whitelist

The manual lookup works fine and adds a new field called whitelist
However, sourcetype=OktaIM2:log client.ipAddress="18.130.101.34" | spath path=client{}.ipAddress output=x does not work, (Splunk version 7.2) Any clues would be appreciated
