Create Chart joining 2 metrics using plot editor or signal flow?

Is there any way to join 2 metrics in plot editor and create a chart or Table.

Eg. Plot A have "otelcol_process_cpu_seconds" and Plot B "have cpu.utilization". 

I need to create Plot C list data exist in B (cpu.untilization) but not exist in plot A(otelcol_process_cpu_seconds"). 

I tried with formula, but formula works only for math operations like B-A (single value) but not working for showing the listing data, I need to plot table shows host name not in "otelcol_process_cpu_seconds".

Count the plots each appears in - if the count is 2 it is in both A and B, therefore it can be removed from C. Now if it appears in (only) A, you can also remove it (since you are not interested in it).

I tried your approach like applying count to both A and B. C only gives the difference of A-B.

eg. cpu_unitlization have 20 count and "otelcol_process_cpu_seconds" have 15 count, C=20-15 =5.

I need to find the host name of the missing 5 from the "otelcol_process_cpu_seconds".

My work is to find the running and non-running otelcol agents from all running host machines. I dont find any use full metrics to achieve this 

Thanks

Perhaps you could share the specific SPL you have tried for this so we can see where you might be going wrong, as it is not easy providing a solution to such vague questions?
