I have

Ex:

Search query 1:
I have one type of log, it contains Roll Number, Date of Joining, Class and etc

Search query 2:
Another log, it contains Name, Roll Number, Address and etc.

Aim:
Search query to obtain results in stats like

Roll Number, Name, Date of Joining

In single logs the above three fields are not available. Both logs are different sourcetypes. I am looking for another commands or techniques other than transaction command.

Thanks in advance

Try something like this:

sourcetype=name_source OR sourcetype=joining_date | stats values(name) as name values(joining_date) by roll_number
