How to compare two fields data from appendcols

joomla
Engager

Hi Community,

I need support to know how I can get the non-existent values from the two fields obtained from the "appendcols" command output.

Example of Splunk output in table format below:

1st_Field  2nd_Field

1111          2222

empty        3333

empty         1111

I am able to get 1111 after using the lookup command but I want to get 2222 and 3333 only as those are not present in 1st Field.

Ok so I created the two different outlookup in main search and appendcols subseach and then used lookup command. This solved my purpose.

You could append the lookup (inputlookup) and then remove the events which have had successful lookups i.e. values in 1st_Field
