Splunk Search

How do I match two fields from the same join command?

Splunkers,

Search String:

admon-user-lookup-update

| eval src_user = (cn) 
| fields src_nt_domain, displayName, cn
| rename cn as user 
| join user 
    [ search index=winevents (EventCode=630 OR EventCode=4726 OR Eventcode=4720 OR EventCode=4725) dest_nt_domain="xxxx" 
    | fields user, action, ComputerName, EventCode, EventCodeDescription, src_user, status]

I am able to match "cn" with user to produce a display name correlation between userid and full name.. How can I match src_user to use display name as well?

Unfortunately, the sub-search will run first, then the Splunk will run the main search. Try MAP.

If you will show a minimal set of sample events and the desired result, I will answer your question. I do not at all understand the way that you have explained your problem but I am certain that it is solvable.
