Hi all,
What is the difference between the Watch lists & Lookup Table
thanks on advance
#Watch lists
#Lookup tables
Hi @mohamed44 ,
Both are totally different.
Lookup Table is a function used in Analytics to display desired result based on key and values. Non Key Column is not supported here. This is mainly used in reporting.
Watchlists need not by a keyvalue, you can simply add any list of IPs, string etc in watchlist.
Also watch list can be dynamically created from raw logs or triggered rules. Watch list can be used in rules, report etc
