Splunk Search

How to compare a lookup field value with my current search?

HI All,
I have a lookup table with host names value around 10 field name host.
I have this search index=Application sourcetype=Servers |stats count by host

I have to compare host in Lookup table with the one in above search and result should give only those host names which are not present in Lookup file.

Suppose my lookup file has below host names:

host
1
2
3
4 
5

My search gives:

host
1 
4
5

So the final result should be :

host
2
3

Thanks in advance.

index="Application" sourcetype=Servers|eval host=lower(host)|eval started_host="T"|append [inputlookup Mylookup|eval started_host="F"]|stats count(eval(started_host=="T")) as started by host|where started == 0

Like this:

index=Application sourcetype=Servers | stats count by host | appendpipe [|inputlookup hostLookup | table host | eval sourcetype="LOOKUP"] | stats values(*) AS * dc(sourcetype) AS numDatasets BY host | search numDatasets=1 AND sourcetype="LOOKUP" | table host
