Nested lookup search

Hi everyone,  I'm trying to get the following search work, but for some reason I'm doing something wrong:

 

inputlookup events_lookup
| eval key = _key 
|search key in
[| inputlookup notable_events_lookup search name="tobedeleted" | fields - _time | fields event_id] 
|table key

 

I'm basically trying to import event_id from a lookup ( notable_events_lookup) which is matching to another lookup (evets_lookup) in order to remove the matching event in the lookup (events_lookup)

I hope it makes sense what I'm trying to explain. Thanks everyone

Hi @g_paternicola 

 

try this

inputlookup events_lookup
| eval key = _key 
| search [| inputlookup notable_events_lookup search name="tobedeleted" | fields - _time | rename event_id as key | fields key] 
|table key
“The answer is out there, Neo, and it’s looking for you, and it will find you if you want it to.”

Hi @aasabatini 

I have the below SPL: -

| inputlookup table1.csv where index="xxx" | fields index, host 
| search NOT [search index="xxx" | dedup host | table index, host]

I have table2.csv with following fields: -
index, host, lastTime

I need to search the results from above SPL based on host and index in table2.csv and get the corresponding value of the column: lastTime. Thus, as the final resultset, I need: - index, host,  lastTime. 

Please help with your suggestions. 

Thank you
