good morning ,
i have some issues on splunk now if some one can help me ;
the is a discription of my csv :

|Hostname |VersionSoftware | Parent |
|V1 |xxxx |c1 |
|V2 |xxxx |c2 |
|V3 |xxxx |T3 |
|V4 |xxxx |V1 |

so what i want to do is to ignore the line where Hostname == Parent and only from the side of Hostname what i mean is it can be a lot of values equal to V1 on Parent .but in hostname its apear one time
thank all.

@kacel,

Are you looking for something similar ?

    | inputlookup your_lookup.csv
    | eventstats values(Parent) as _tmp
    | eval found=if(isnull(mvfind(_tmp,Hostname)),0,1)  | where found!=1

| inputlookup my_csv
| eventstats values(Parent) as parent_tmp
| eval found=if(isnull(mvfind(parent_tmp,Host)),0,1) | where found!=1
| table Host Parent Version

This gives what you are looking for.

If those are exactly right example, then case matters!

Working off this more or less perfect answer...

| inputlookup yourlookup.csv
| where Hostname!=Parent

give that a try!

If it doesn't work, please provide what it DOES give you back, and where it's wrong. And what you wanted instead.

Happy Splunking!

thank you for answer,
but your proposition doesnt work .
i had false result
i think that i must use a loop fixing hostname and iterating on parent .
thanks if u have something-eles

@kacel, Please be careful to "Add comment" when replying to a particular answer instead of "Post Your Answer To This Question". I moved this comment to where it belongs for you.

Unless of course you found your own answer and are helping everyone else by writing it down here!

Anyway - no worries, it's not a big deal, just something to be careful of!

Happy Splunking,
Rich
