|eval ip=192.168.101.10

|lookup ip.csv ip output host

In my lookup i have two entry ip=192.168.101.10 & ip=192.168.101.10/24.

How can i add wildcard (*) for match and i should get two entry.

The wildcard need to be defined in the lookup e.g. abc* will match abc and abc_123

If you have wildcards in your lookup, just use the lookup command

Hi @RSS_STT ,

in the same option of the same section try with WILDCARD instead CIDR.

Ciao.

Hi @RSS_STT ,

in [Settings > Lookups > Lookup Definitions ] open "Advanced Options" and configure CIDR as match_type, as described at https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.4.0/Knowledge/Addfieldmatchingrulestoyourlookupconfig...

Ciao.
