Splunk Search

outputlookup is limited to 10,000 results

I need to create an outputlookup file with more than 10,000 results. I've looked through the limits.conf examples and I can't find a way to increase the number of results beyond 10K.

Is this possible?

Yup, sort was killing it for me. Thanks!

What is the full search? outputlookup itself does not have any results limits, and a limit of 10k would mostly be due to a sort command you may be using. (sort implicitly truncates to the first 10k output rows unless you specify limit=0 as an argument to it)

sort limit=0 worked for me.
Thanks.

try using fields instead of table

The search is:

sourcetype="nessus_plugins" | table nessus_id,cve_id,osvdb_id | outputlookup osvdb_cvs_lookup.csv

If I remove the outputlookup part of the search, it still maxes out at 100000 events.
