IP Watchlist Lookup

Hello,

I currently have a search against our firewalls, below is the current search.

index=(my index) sourcetype="my_source" ipsrcip!=(ip)

I have a lookup file called 'threatip' that contains a list of source IP's in the first column named 'ip'. I would like to create a search that presents events from the initial search where the source IP from the lookup matches the source IP in the firewall logs.

Firewall log fields -

Source IP - 'srcip'

Lookup Table Fields -

Source IP - 'ip'

It seems so simple yet I am having some issues with it, advice would be much appreciated.

Thank you,
Nick.

Like this:

index="myIndex" AND sourcetype="my_source" AND ipsrcip!=(ip) AND [|inputlookup MyLookupFile.csv | rename ip as srcip | table srcip]

OR

index="myIndex" AND sourcetype="my_source" AND ipsrcip!=(ip)
| lookup MyLookupFile.csv ip AS srcip OUTPUT ip AS MATCHED
| where isnotnull(MATCHED)

Hi Giuseppe, I have tried this search however I receive no results. I can confirm that I have already added some data into the lookup, IP's that have hit the firewall in the past 30 days. I am also running my search over the last 30 days. Thanks.
