Hi,

Why my CIDR matching in not following the lookup content?

Query i used is as below:

| makeresults
| eval ip="10.10.10.10"
| lookup testip ip OUTPUTNEW description

Result should look like this:

ipDescription
10.10.10.10New

 

But the real output look like this:

ipDescription
10.10.10.10New
In Progress
Closed

 

I have check my lookup and its clearly state the Description for IP Range 10.10.10.10/27 is "New".

Please help and thanks!

  1. Is your lookup's ip field using CIDR notation?
  2. Did you set up CIDR(ip) in lookup definition?
  3. Is there any overlapping CIDR's (ip) that 10.10.10.10 can match in your lookup?

About 3, for example, if your lookup is like this:

ipDescription
10.10.10.10/27New
10.10.10.0/24In Progress
10.10.8.0/16Closed

10.10.10.10 will match all three.
