How to display a log based off of fields from multiple logs

I'm not 100% sure how to title this question so please let me know if you have a suggestion on how to re-title it and i'll edit it.

I have tens of logs showing daily for each JOB
Here is an example of two logs for one of them:

 DATETIME:   2017-08-11 13:00:13.85 -0700   
 JOBNAME:    CIMR801D   
 MSGTXT:     CODE=ENDED - TIME=13.00.13 

 DATETIME:   2017-08-10 20:44:19.21 -0700   
 JOBNAME:    CIMR801D   
 MSGTXT:    CODE=JOB FAILED=S000 U1536 REASON=*

I only want to show jobs that have ended but haven't had any fails. So i'm trying to only show JOBNAMES that have a log containing the text ENDED TIME within the MSGTXT field but not FAILED within MSGTXT of another log within the same day.

Any ideas?

Like this:

... | stats values(MSGTXT) AS MSGTXTs BY JOBNAME
| where match(MSGTXTs, "CODE=ENDED") AND NOT match(MSGTXTs, "CODE=JOB FAILED")

If you need to keep the raw events, then change stats to eventstats.

Assuming the JOBNAME and MSGTXT fields are already indexed, this query should get you started.

index=foo MSGTXT="*ENDED*" | table JOBNAME
---
If this reply helps you, Karma would be appreciated.

This is perfect. I wasn't familiar with the match command and was trying to do an overly complicated join/append.
