How to count field values from two indexes and plot this on a graph?

I have 2 indexes: index=report and index=fixed

Both have the same field ticket. When a ticket is reported, it goes in both indexes, but when that ticket is resolved, it just gets removed from fixed index.

Now I wanted to compare how many tickets where there before January and how many are still remaining and plot them on a graph.

Example

index=report contains:
ticket
1
2
3
4
5

index=fixed contains:
ticket
1
4
5

It should give output as:

total count=5
remain=3

and plot this on a graph.

Try this base search:

index=report OR index=fixed | stats dc(index) AS Indices values(*) AS * by index

From there you can add any where indices ... clause that you like followed by another stats (or eventstats) clause to wrap it up.
