Hi,

I have a requirement like we have a csv file which has the values of functionid and functiondesc, this file was added in lookup also. I get a value eventid from the logs which is same as functionid. Now,  we need to fetch  the functiondesc of the corresponding eventid. and display it in table.

That's how the lookup command work (you can alias the field name from the event to be the same as the field name from the lookup)

lookup
