Dears,

Need assistance with a Splunk query to retrieve data from two sources: source X and source Y. I want to match records where child_file_id in source Y matches file_id in source X and retrieve the combined data. How can I achieve this?

 

So, in my source X, specifically Stealer_* there are records, each of which includes a file_id, which is illustrated as 3382 in my example.

So, when I search for file_id, I find 6 events, all structured similarly but with different values, all sharing the same file_id.

In another source, I have data related to source X. To establish connections between them, I use child_file_id as a relational identifier, similar to a database key.

As depicted in the screenshot below, you can see that the child_file_id corresponds to the same file_id in the first source."

How can I construct a Splunk query to achieve this? Specifically, I want to retrieve the entire result set in a single query and table.

In this query, the data from source 2 (child_file_id) should be duplicated in each event from the first source, creating a unified result.

 

Final output 

something like this 

srouce_field1,srouce_field1,srouce_field1,srouce_field1,srouce_field1,srouce_field2,srouce_field2

BR.

Here is one way to approach it

<search first index> [search <second index> | rename child_file_id as file_id | dedup file_id]

Here is another

<first index> OR <second index>
| rename child_file_id as file_id
| stats values(*) as * by file_id

Given your vague requirements and lack of sample events, hopefully this will still match what you are attempting to do
