Events mismatch values with lookup values

Hello Splunkers!!

We have events that contains source and destination fields with complete values, and we want to match these fields against event data where the corresponding fields (source and destination) may include wildcard values in the lookup. The goal is to accurately match the event data with the appropriate lookup values, ensuring that wildcard patterns in the lookup are properly evaluated during the matching process.

What I have tried so far to match events field values with the lookup field values. But no luck found. Please give me some suggestion to execute this correctly.

@gcusello As per the below screenshot, I need to specify in the match_type for both the fields ?

FYI @gcusello  I have added below entries and it starts working as expected.

WILDCARD(source), WILDCARD(position), WILDCARD(destination)
