I want to get my inputlookup csv filename with the query.

| inputlookup abc.csv
| stats count by inputlookup_filename  ```<= the result I needed is "abc"```
Or
| table inputlookup_filename ```<= the result I needed is "abc"```

Can you describe what and why you want? Currently I haven’t any hints how and where you would like to get it 😞
Usually you could should use sub query to add it, but we should know what you are looking.

Hi

you get filename with rest e.g.

| rest /services/data/lookup-table-files search="abc.csv" 
| fields title eai:appName eai:data

Thanks for your response. It's really helpful and knowledgeable. Your rest query can get the lookupfilename as title.

Actually, my original search query is -

| inputlookup abc.csv | rename field1 as new_field
| append [| inputlookup def.csv | rename field1 as new_field]
| table new_field

 

When I put rest query that you provided, "rest" must be the first place in search.
I do want to know how to combine my original query and rest query to get the new_field and lookupfilename.

Thank you very much, Sir. Finally, I got the solution based on your suggestion. I put the filename column and value in the csv file. That is the easy way to get the lookupfilename in search.
