Distributed Searches and Lookup table errors.

I am having a problem with lookup tables in a distributed search environment. The lookup table is working on the main search head but I receive the below error on the secondary Linux instance.

  1. [Linux_Instance] The lookup table 'Windows_EventCode_Lookup' does not exist. It is referenced by configuration 'WMI:WinEventLog:Security'.
  2. [Linux_Instance] The lookup table 'W2K3_Logon_Type_Lookup' does not exist. It is referenced by configuration 'WMI:WinEventLog:Security'.

The search head is a Windows systems the error is from the Linux Splunk system. I do have export=system setup on both systems and I have created the lookup on the Linux Splunk instance but it still gives me the above error.

This is an old question but still very relevant. Did you try adding the lookups to the indexers? I think this might help.
