Use the Splunk App for Lookup File Editing to add and edit lookup files within the Splunk platform. Using the app, you can edit, import, and export both KV store and CSV file lookups in an interface similar to Microsoft Excel.

With the Splunk App for Lookup File Editing, you can do the following:

  • Manage lookup files from within the Splunk platform
  • Import CSV files into a lookup
  • Import KV store data into a lookup
  • Edit lookups within a GUI similar to Microsoft Excel
  • Save a backup of a lookup and set a total backup size limit
