try something like this to avoid using join, as there are limits.

(index = abc "errordetails") OR (index = abc "error")
|stats values(servicename) as servicename values(errordetails) as errordetails by id
|where isnotnull(servicename) AND isnotnull(errordetails)

the where statement should ensure you're only grabbing ids that include both errordetails and servicename, without it, it's like an outer join.
