In case anyone runs into this old post with the same issue, I opened a support case and was informed that:

the "updated" field in the API is a generic field on most Splunk APIs to track changes to configuration such as changes in permissions done from the UI. It is not an accurate method to track changes done to the lookup files themselves.

Was this issue ever resolved? I am seeing the same issue in my SplunkCloud environment.

I suspect that the system clock on the host OS of your Search Head is borked or there is a Splunk bug somewhere. That says that the timestamp on the file is 0, which should not happen.

Hello @woodcock, I do not see any issue with host OS. Not sure if it is a bug with Splunk, as a similar version of Splunk on the other SH is working fine.

@DMohn, lookup file was generated from outputlookup.

This time normally indicates, that the corresponding CSV hasn't been updated via Splunk at all. (It is the '0' UNIX timestamp value).

This interface will only show update times, if the lookup file is updates by means of Splunk (eg. outputlookup) - not if it is re-uploaded via the OS.

@harishalipaka, thanks for replying. User time zone is Default System Timezone and user timezone may not be the issue.
