Update lookup files

Security Requirements and Controls

Sometimes it's necessary to update the content of lookup files. If you are running a trigger with a lookup file action, you can configure the action to update the file automatically based on the results of the trigger.

If you are not updating the lookup file automatically with a trigger as described above, the following methods are available to update lookup files:

  • Update the lookup file from the Resources menu → Lookup files:

    1. Click on the file to update

    2. Update the file as needed: add or remove columns and rows, update contents, and so on.

    3. Click Save

  • Update the lookup file externally and upload it to LogScale. To do this, export the lookup file and open it in another tool, make the necessary changes, and upload the file again.
