Splunk Search

Do a lookup with results of another lookup

Does anyone know if this is possible? I have a search that works that gives me results for a particular user from a csv.

| inputlookup ldapsearch_corporate_identities | search identity="particular userid"

This lookup gives me the AD information for "particular userid".

I have another csv being generated with a list of userids that we want to pull information for. I'm wondering if I can get the first search to run and return results for each user listed in the second csv. Below is what I have so far. The search itself does list each userid in my csv. But I can't seem to get them to work together. Each user id is listed in a column called target_userid.

| inputlookup ldapsearch_corporate_identities|search [|inputlookup machines.csv |fields target_userid | dedup target_userid | mvexpand target_userid] | search identity=target_userid

Try something like this

|inputlookup machines.csv |fields target_userid | dedup target_userid | mvexpand target_userid | lookup ldapsearch_corporate_identities identity as target_userid 

This will fetch the corresponding AD information for each target_userid.

Try something like this

|inputlookup machines.csv |fields target_userid | dedup target_userid | mvexpand target_userid | lookup ldapsearch_corporate_identities identity as target_userid 

This will fetch the corresponding AD information for each target_userid.

You should be able to do something like this:

| inputlookup ldapsearch_corporate_identities | search [inputlookup machines.csv | fields target_userid | dedup target_userid | rename target_userid as identity]

I'm a little confused about your mvexpand though, does the machines.csv contain multivalue target_userid fields?
