Splunk Search

How to combine two lookups?

On Splunk, I have the following 2 searches:

1)

`ABC_logs(traffic)` user != "unknown" src_ip IN (*) dest_ip IN (*)
| stats values(src_ip) values(src_zone) values(dest_ip) values(dest_port) values(app) values(transport) values(session_end_reason) values(user) by host rule action | rename values(*) as *
| dedup src_ip, dest_ip
| rename src_ip as device_ip_address
| fields device_ip_address, dest_ip, user, host [search index=DEF sourcetype = asset_registry_2
| dedup device_ip_address | fields device_ip_address, host ]

AND

2)

| inputlookup laso_lab_networks.csv
| join type=inner LAB_ID
[| inputlookup laso_lab_firewalls.csv
| eval Firewall = split(Firewall, ",")
| mvexpand Firewall]
| dedup Firewall
| eval Firewall = mvindex(split(Firewall, "."), 0)
| fields LAB_ID, Lab_Mgr, Firewall

I need to write a single query that would LINK both these queries such that the field "Firewall" from search 1 is joined to the field "host" from search 2. 

I appreciate any help you can offer

Both searches are very confusing, and seem overly complicated.  I took the liberty to simplify. (With the susbsearch in the main search, the first search should also be more efficient.) But really if a good use of the lookup laso_lab_firewalls.csv is to match host name, I wonder if it is much more efficient to actually produce the lookup with host as one of keys.  Lookup is a binary tree, whereas inputlookup forces you to use other, less efficient commands.

Anyway, the main idea is to stitch the two together, then do values operation on non-overlapping fields.

 

`ABC_logs(traffic)` user != "unknown" 
    [search index=DEF sourcetype = asset_registry_2
    | dedup device_ip_address | fields device_ip_address, host 
    | rename device_as src_ip]
| stats values(src_ip) values(src_zone) values(dest_ip) values(dest_port) values(app) values(transport) values(session_end_reason) values(user) by host rule action
| rename values(*) as *
| rename src_ip as device_ip_address
| fields device_ip_address, dest_ip, user, host
| append
    [| inputlookup laso_lab_firewalls.csv
    | eval Firewall = split(Firewall, ",")
    | mvexpand Firewall
    | dedup Firewall
    | eval host = mvindex(split(Firewall, "."), 0)
    | fields LAB_ID, Lab_Mgr, host]
| stats values(device_ip_address) as device_ip_address values(dest_ip) as dest_ip values(user) as user values(LAB_ID) as LAB_ID values(Lab_Mgr) as Lab_Mgr by host
