Splunk Search

How to get that file to be replicated to the other search heads?

I have a cron job that creates a lookup file under $splunkhome$/etc/apps/search/lookups on one of the search heads. How do I get that file to be replicated to the other search heads? 

I've created a lookup definition for it and it works great the first time, but after the file's been updated. The new results are only available on the local sheard head.

Hi @umd06 

You have not specified whether it is a search head cluster (SHC) or not.  An SHC should automatically replicate lookups between its SHC members.  If it isn't, you may have a replication issue.  Check the _internal logs for issues.

For standalone search heads, there is no auto mechanism to replicate lookups to other standalone search heads.
