I have 2 fields as below

Field1    Field2
abc          abc
def          jkl
ghi          wxy
jkl
pqr
wxy

I have to compare values in Field1 with all values in Field2 and return "Success" if both are same and "Fail" if both are not same.

Expected Result:

Field1    Field2     Result
abc          abc         Success
def          jkl            Fail
ghi          wxy          Fail
jkl                             Success
pqr                          Fail
wxy                          Success

Index is same with different sourcetypes

Try this!

(your search)|table Field1,Field2|eval Result="Fail"
| join type=left Field1 [search (your search) Field2=*|table Field2
       |rename Field2 as Field1|eval Result="Success"]

This assumes you passed a transformational command like stats to get that table view of your metrics. If so, just append this on and make sure to replace Field1 and Field2 with your column names

| eval Result=if(Field1==Field2,"Success","Fail")
