http status lookup fields are not listed under pickup fields

I have a simple configuration for few forwarders and an indexer.
I have configured the field look-up on Splunk indexer for http status codes using the sample provided in user manual. My entries look like this.
1. csv file is uploaded under

$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/search/lookups/http_status.csv
  1. Contents of props.conf under $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/search/local/props.conf

    [apache_logs]
    EXTRACT-status = (?i)^(?:[^"]*"){2}\s+(?P[^ ]+)

    [access_combined]
    LOOKUP-http_status = http_status status OUTPUT status_description, status_type

  2. Contents of transforms.conf under $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/search/lookups/transforms.conf

    [http_status]
    filename = http_status.csv

  3. After this I restarted the Splunk indexer.

  4. Searched the apache-logs through search app.

  5. I did not see the status_description and status_type fields under the field pickup.

  6. I see status = 200 as extracted field in results. However could not get description or type.

Am I missing any settings ? Please help.

It seems you are using sourcetype apache_logs for your access logs, but the lookup is configured to be used for the sourcetype access_combined, so Splunk will not apply it. Change it to apache_logs and it should work.
