A DevOps team wants to enrich application logs with deployment metadata stored in a KV Store collection. The collection is updated by a CI/CD pipeline via REST API. They need to use this data in a search without manual intervention. Which configuration should they use?

Create a KV Store lookup definition and use the lookup command in the search.

Export the KV Store to a CSV file and use a static CSV lookup.

Use an external lookup script that queries the KV Store via REST API.

Use the outputlookup command to write the KV Store data to a lookup file.

In a lookup definition, what is the purpose of defining parameters?

To specify the fields that will be used for matching events to lookup data

To set the maximum number of results returned by the lookup

To determine the file format of the lookup (CSV, KV Store, etc.)

To restrict which users can access the lookup file

Which approach is commonly used to exclude events from a search when their field values match entries in a lookup file?

Using the lookup command with the OUTPUT option

Using the where command with NOT IN and a subsearch that reads the lookup

Using the outputlookup command with the OVERWRITE option

Using the inputlookup command with the APPEND option
