History

#1 Updated by Luke Murphey almost 8 years ago

A couple things.

The lookup editor lists KV store lookups by collection name. It ignores transforms.conf.

Editing of KV lookups won't be available when:

1. The platform doesn't support KV store. It must be Splunk 6.2 or greater and must be the 64-bit platform.
 2. The KV store service is not running. If some issue prevents the KV store from running, then the KV editing will not be available.
 3. If the particular KV store lookup has restrictive ACLs that prevents the Lookup Editor from accessing it.

#2 Updated by Luke Murphey almost 8 years ago

Wierd.

  1. When I do the repro steps and inputlookup/outputlookup the results, the lookup then has nothing in the KV store editor. Adding another row in the editor causes the new row to be added but still doesn't appear in inputlookup.

#3 Updated by Luke Murphey almost 8 years ago

This is likely due to storing rows under different users (nobody versus admin).

#4 Updated by Luke Murphey almost 8 years ago

This is the root cause. outputlookup stores and inputlookup retrieves rows only for the nobody user whereas the KV editor uses the user that owns the lookup.
