Hi,

i have a indexes A and B. when i am joining both indexes with type=outer, I am getting only left index data, but I want both columns of data. How do I do this?

ex:

Index A

id  name  sal
1    x    10,000

Index B

id desgn
1  eng 

Now I want the output as:

id  name  sal     desg
1    x    10000   engineer 

This is my current search:

index=a | join type=outer a.id[ SEARCH index=b]|table id,name,desg,sal

Thanks in advance

Maybe it's a typo, but Splunk joins aren't the same as SQL joins. Did you try index=a | join type=outer id [search index=b] | table id name sal desgn ?
