It's the calling shell that does the file expansion first so disabling globbing inside the function (which runs in a subshell) will not work.   Here's an example that hopefully demonstrates this more clearly ... $ mkdir empty $ mv test.func empty/.test.func $ cd empty $ ls # no files $ ls -a # globbing ignores hidden files . .. .test.func $ . .test.func $ test * 2 3 # no files so no globbling and * works opt=x**x#x file=* stansa=2 search=3 $ touch newfile $ ls newfile $ test * 2 3 opt=x**x#x file=newfile stansa=2 search=3 $ test \* 2 3 opt=x**x#x file=* stansa=2 search=3 $ set -f $ test * 2 3 opt=x**x#x file=* stansa=2 search=3 $  Agree, that using -a switch may be a cleaner way to represent all files though.  ...

Hi @jotne  As you may be aware, the * wildcard breaks due to filename expansion (or globbing) from the calling shell, i.e. what is passed to the btools function is a list of filenames in the directory where the function is called, not the * wildcard. This can be turned off in the shell with the set -f call (set +f to re-enable), or the more useful convention is to escape the wildcard with a backslash or wrap it in single quotes.  Standard *nix commands that use the * wildcard on the command line (e.g. find) use this convention so I think this is a more conventional *nix method than using a ¤. My US keyboard does not provide easy access to this character.  [splunk ~]$ touch test_dummy [splunk ~]$ btools indexes test* coldpath.maxDataSizeMB # shell expands to test_dummy so does not work unless the * is escaped [splunk ~]$ btools indexes test\* coldpath.maxDataSizeMB [test_cust] coldPath.maxDataSizeMB = 0 /opt/splunk/etc/system/default/indexes.conf [splunk ~]$ [splunk@lrlskt02 ~]$ btools indexes * coldpath.maxDataSizeMB [splunk@lrlskt02 ~]$ [splunk@lrlskt02 ~]$ btools indexes '*' coldpath.maxDataSizeMB [_audit] coldPath.maxDataSizeMB = 0 /opt/splunk/etc/system/default/indexes.conf [_internal] coldPath.maxDataSizeMB = 0 /opt/splunk/etc/system/default/indexes.conf [_introspection] coldPath.maxDataSizeMB = 0 /opt/splunk/etc/system/default/indexes.conf [_metrics] coldPath.maxDataSizeMB = 0 /opt/splunk/etc/system/default/indexes.conf [_metrics_rollup] coldPath.maxDataSizeMB = 0 /opt/splunk/etc/system/default/indexes.conf [_telemetry] coldPath.maxDataSizeMB = 0 /opt/splunk/etc/system/default/indexes.conf [_thefishbucket] coldPath.maxDataSizeMB = 0 /opt/splunk/etc/system/default/indexes.conf [default] coldPath.maxDataSizeMB = 0 /opt/splunk/etc/system/default/indexes.conf [history] coldPath.maxDataSizeMB = 0 /opt/splunk/etc/system/default/indexes.conf [main] coldPath.maxDataSizeMB = 0 /opt/splunk/etc/system/default/indexes.conf [summary] coldPath.maxDataSizeMB = 0 /opt/splunk/etc/system/default/indexes.conf [test_cust] coldPath.maxDataSizeMB = 0 /opt/splunk/etc/system/default/indexes.conf [splunk@lrlskt02 ~]$ ...

Thought I'd add to this post, in regards to using a curl command to push a lookup file to a Splunk instance, as other Splunk users may find it useful.  It's not a replacement for @mthcht excellent python scripts but it is often easy to use curl commands when testing and validating things.   Here's a worked example that creates a simple lookup file (tested against Cloud stack and lookup editor v4.0.4) ...   curl -sk --request POST https://localhost:8089/services/data/lookup_edit/lookup_contents \ -H "Authorization: Splunk $MYTOKEN" \ -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \ -d timeout=10 \ -d namespace=search \ -d lookup_file=lookupfilename.csv \ -d contents=[[\"field1\",\"field2\"],[\"value1\",\"value2\"]] \ -d owner=nobody # n.b. owner is only needed when creating new lookups - a 'user' name creates the new lookup file with private permissions, whereas 'nobody' results in it being shared globally   Note, the 'contents' format must be a 2D JSON array. To make this easier, 'contents' can also be added via a file, like this ...   $ cat <<EOF > myLocalLookup.json contents=[["field1","field2"],["value1","value2"]] EOF $ curl -sk --request POST https://localhost:8089/services/data/lookup_edit/lookup_contents \ -H "Authorization: Splunk $MYTOKEN" \ -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \ -d timeout=10 \ -d namespace=search \ -d lookup_file=lookupfilename.csv \ -d @myLocalLookup.json \ -d owner=nobody   Now, to really make this useful, existing CSV file's need to be formatted as JSON. There are multiple ways this could be done, but here is a simple python oneliner (*nix tested) that reads in a CSV file on stdin and outputs it as JSON.   (python -c $'import sys;import csv;import json;\nwith sys.stdin as f: csv_array=list(csv.reader(f)); print("contents="+json.dumps(csv_array))' > mylocalLookup.json) < myLocalLookup.csv   Hopefully. others may find this useful too. ...

Hi @johnansett  We had something similar after moving our on-prem Splunk to Splunk Cloud.  Our on prem indexed data needed to be searchable as it aged out. As a Splunk customer you should be able to request a zero-ingest license from Splunk Support. This is better than a free or trail license as it gives all the benefit of a standard license (except no data ingestion) and does not need renewing every 6 weeks like a trail license does.  If you have a Splunk account manager then this is something you could discuss with them.  Hope that helps.  ...
