Join command working

When nesting two commands using join, how can I verify if the Join command is returning the value of the field.

[code]
| join type=left ip
[
index=os s_ ip=10.x.x.x
| fields ip]

Never use join. It should not even exist.

Hi djkj957,

Don't use join for reasons.

Use a stats instead and you will not hit any hidden limits:

[code] OR ( index=os s_ip=10.x.x.x | stats values(*) AS * by ip _time

Hope this helps ...

cheers, MuS
