How to query an automatic lookup

Hi Guys,

 

How can I query an automatic lookup? Now, this is not the fields created through  an automatic lookup, but the name given to the automatic lookup.

 

my automatic lookup is src_top_sales_by_model

I have tried:

index=blah model=* | stats values(src_top_sales_by_model) 

the dilemma, I have two different automatic lookups and they both have the same field name but different values

so I was thinking of just querying the automatic lookups names given to then find the values. 

Is this even possible?

Hi @luna,

Unfortunately you cannot get the lookup name that outputs values. You can edit your automatic lookup definitions to output different fieldnames to understand which one hit. 

If your lookup files has the same fields as output, you can alias them on automatic lookup definition using AS setting.
