I am seeing the following alert on the Searching and Reporting App and also within the InfoSec App for Splunk.

[idx-1,idx-2,sh-2] Could not load lookup=LOOKUP-threatprotect-severity

I am not sure how to go about troubleshooting this further.  Thx.

Hi @SplunkNinja ,

search in the lookups and in the lookup definitions the automatic lookup named "threatprotect-severity", probably it's missed or there are some missed fields, called by your searches, in the lookup definition.

Ciao.

I narrowed the issue down to an add-on and then updated to the latest version.  This fixed the problem.  Thanks for you help @gcusello and @PickleRick

And check permissions. The lookup itself might be OK but you might not have permissions to use it.
