Splunk Search

How to search with variables from lookup csv?

Let's say I have a search and a very basic lookup table (csv). What I want to achieve is to use the values in the table for my search.

So my table.csv:

id name
1 first
2 second
3 third

 

Now, I want to simply run a query like which returns every single log that has any of the id's from my lookup table.

index=myIndex sourcetype=mySourcetype id IN somelookup ---- where id is in table.csv's id column.

 

The second challenge then would be to actually have the name column values added as a field to the results for clarity.

Try something like this

index=myIndex sourcetype=mySourcetype [ | inputlookup table.csv | fields id ]
| lookup table.csv

Try something like this

index=myIndex sourcetype=mySourcetype [ | inputlookup table.csv | fields id ]
| lookup table.csv

fishmong3r

For that, I get "Error in 'lookup' command: Must specify one or more lookup fields."
