The Upload File action creates a CSV
lookup file from the events and uploads the file to LogScale in the
repository/view of the action. The CSV lookup file can then be used in the
match()
function, among others.
It is recommended to use this action with a search that only returns the
fields that are needed as columns in the CSV file. This can, for instance,
be achieved by using the select()
query function.
For more information about lookup files in LogScale, see Lookup Files.
