Hi,

I am facing issues to find delta.

I have:

Lookup Table: testpolicies.csv

Field names in Lookup: policyname

index=test sourcetype =test_sourcetype policy=*

Field names :  policy

Now, need to compare Lookup table with  sourcetype using policy field and find all the records/rows which are not exist in Lookup table but in sourcetype. This comparison is based on policy field

Any recommendations will be highly appreciated. Thank you so much.

@ITWhisperer  Hi, This is the expected behaviour

data:
policy 1
policy 11
policy 111
policy 2
policy 22
policy 222

testpolicies.csv
policy 11
policy 22
policy 222

Expected result:
policy 1
policy 111
policy 2

Your expected result is the opposite of what you said you are trying to do
