How to loop through results of a main inputlookup and combine with a child inputlookup?

hi,

i have a main search-

|inputlookup wlaa_hosts.csv | eval Host=split(HostList,",") | stats count by Host

that results with-

Host           count
host1            1
host2            1
host3            1

i have another lookup that looks like-

MetricID                  AlertMsg
response_time             resp time > 10
error_count               error > 20

i want to loop through each of the host and attach it to every row in the child lookup, so that the result looks like-

Host     MetricID             AlertMsg
host1    response_time        resp time > 10
host1    error_count          error > 20
host2    response_time        resp time > 10
host2    error_count          error > 20

final step is to output each row to a KV Store lookup

i tried using the map command but it did not give me the desired result. appreciate very much for any help. thnx

Try this
