Automatic lookup during data ingestiont (Splunk cloud)

Hi folks
I've a KVstore containing the following values: hostname, IP address.
This KVstore is updated every hour to ensure that the host name and IP address always match. The KVStore is updated using saved search. The reason is that the environment (IP … hostname relationship) changes very often (DHCP)
I was thinking about the automatic lookup when logs containing an IP address are ingested to enrich them with the hostname corresponding at the time of ingestion and not the one corresponding during the next search?

Unfortunately ingest-time lookup is not available in Splunk Cloud Platform and this functionality is also only for CSV file lookup. And also the solution with intermediate forwarder is not suitable for me.

Any advice ?
