How to get full join result of the below two logs:
log1:
ID, value1
1,aaa
1,abc

log2:
ID, value2
1,X1
1,X4
When join the two logs with source=log1 join type=inner ID [search source=log2] , it will get results like
ID,value1,value2
1,aaa,X1
1,abc,X1
How can I get the full join of the two logs like:
ID,value1,value2
1,aaa,X1
1,abc,X1
1,aaa,X4
1,abc,X4
Thanks!

You're probably looking for the max=0 option of the join command, enabling the re-use of a previously joined event for more joins. Note though, for large inputs this may yield huge result sets.

The question of how to get the full join was indeed solved by setting max=0. If you have a different problem not solved by this you should ask a separate question.
