Problem with Lookup table

Hello

While using lookup table there are multiple entries coming up even when in the lookup table they have distinct values stored.

Here is a gist of data in the lookup file

threshold CI
"1.00",AN100489
"1.00",WASBFBLV
"1.00",AN100369
"1.00",AN100357
"1.00",AN100399
"1.00",AN100281
"1.00",AN100090
"1.00",AN100570
"1.00",WASBHJ8B

Now when I use it in search

sourcetype="incident"| rename record.affectedCI as CI | lookup threshold-Lookup CI AS CI OUTPUT threshold AS threshold | table CI threshold| 

the data comes as
1 WTSDK3LD

2 WTSDHFTB 1.00
3 WTSDHFTB 1.00
4 WTSDHFTB 1.00
5 WTSDHFS4 1.00
6 WTSDHFS4 1.00
7 WTSDC4NQ 1.00
8 WTSDC4NQ 1.00
9 WTSDC4NQ 1.00
10 WTSDC4NQ 1.00
11 WTSDC4NQ 1.00
12 WTSDC4NQ 1.00
13 WTSDB9JG 1.00

Any idea on how can I make it distinct so that it lists it only once? I need it to be uniq as I will be comparing the threshold to other fields to generate emails.

Please help.

Regards

I believe you want the dedup command.

sourcetype="incident"| rename record.affectedCI as CI | lookup threshold-Lookup CI AS CI OUTPUT threshold AS threshold | dedup CI| table CI threshold

Issue was in the lookup tables itself. Rectified it. Thanks for the help/

How about: sourcetype="incident" | lookup threshold-Lookup record.affectedCI AS CI OUTPUT threshold|dedup CI |stats values(threshold) as threshold by CI ? If not, could you provide a table of the information you'd like to see? (please use backticks to preserve formatting)

I tried with dedup too. But it's still the same.

Would this be an issue with the lookup table?
