How to import mulitple host csv file to fetch data in splunk?

[shariz]

I am trying to download vulnerability report for a 1000 hosts. Instead of providing them in the splunk query. I thought of uploading them as a csv format and fetch the data. is it possible in splunk?

Correct me if I'm wrong, not sure if this is what you mean, but assuming you want to search the vulnerability report data that you have in a csv file by using the file itself instead of indexing the data and then search it, yes its possible. Just upload the csv file as a lookup and you can do `|inputlookup myreport.csv` . Just make sure you have the right permissions set on the lookup.
There are some caveats using this approach. You won't be able to use the search timepicker since what you are doing in essentially loading a lookup and it will load everything in that file but you can still use some spl after the input lookup to filter whatever you need.
