I have two different sourcetypes src_a, src_b.

src_a: This is a CSV uploaded from Server (has expected results for each event) and data has not changes since october so there was no upload after that

src_b: we have data for daily result count for each event

 

I want to compare src_a (last updated data received) to src_b (last 3 days) and show variance.  Please help

SO what I have is Expected Link Clicks count (this does not change) and Actual Link Clicks (Daily Data). It has common fields Link Name, Activity, count

Start with something like this

(index=foo source=src_a) OR (index=bar source=src_b)
| stats values(*) as * by Link Name, Activity, count

Hi

My requirement is:

I have two source types. First Source type data was uploaded 1 week back.

I have another source type which gets data on daily basis. I am using Time Range filter for 3 days. I want to setup alert while comparing data.

I need to find out how i can  get data from first source type which was last uploaded (can be 1 week back or 1 month back).  With last 3 days data of second source type.

 

Thank you for helping me on this!

Tell us more about the two sourcetypes.  Are they similar in structure?  Do they share any field names or values?  What do you mean by "show variance"?  Does it really make sense to compare October to 3 days ago?
