Lookup

[Muthu_Vinith]

Hey Experts, I'm new to splunk and I'm trying to create a new lookup from data in a index=abc. Can someone please guide me on how to achieve this? Any help or example queries would be greatly appreciated. Thank You!

Hi @Muthu_Vinith,

you have at first to create the lookup and the lookup definition (don't forget definition!).

Then you have to define the fields list of the new lookup from the fiels in the index and create a search, and at least create a search ending with the outputlookup command (https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.2.0/SearchReference/Outputlookup).

So you can run something like this:

index=abc
| dedup field1 field2 field3
| sort field1 field2 field3
| table field1 field2 field3
| outputlookup your_lookup.csv

Analyze the options of the outputlookup command to find the ones that you require.

Ciao.

How to create @gcusello ?

Hi @Muthu_Vinith ,

you can use the Splunk Lookup Editor App ( https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/1724 )to create the lookup.

To create the Lookup Definition, you can use the second item of the dashboard that you shared.

Ciao.

Create a search to find the data you want from your index, then use outputlookup to send it to a lookup source.
