hi.

I have a txt file include many strings, and  many logs from my web server that indexed.

I want to find the logs that at least match with one of the string in txt file.

how to search and query for this goal?

thanks.

for example:

txt file:

mosConfig.absolute.path

and logs:

http://localhost/index.php?option=com_sef&Itemid=&mosConfig.absolute.path=[shell.txt?]

and output:

http://localhost/index.php?option=com_sef&Itemid=&mosConfig.absolute.path=[shell.txt?]

Put the text file into a lookup store e.g. csv and then use inputlookup to include it in the search of your index - start with something like this - you will need to expand on this with your real values

index=xyz [|inputlookup text.csv|format]

If you are looking something up, then yes you would expect there to be at least two column, but if you are just doing inputlookup you can have just one column
