Hello,
I'm new here, tried to find the answer for my problem by failed. I'm looking for a method to extract values from 2 different events. These events have some common fileds but I'm not interested in them being part of output.

My events have following fields (there are more, but these I would like to operate on):

EventID=10001

time=_time

user=mike

vlan=mikevlan

EventID=10002

time=_time

user=mike

L2ipaddress=1.2.3.4

What I'm looking at as a result is a table with a combined results from vlan and L2ipaddress columns for which user and time matches then I need to have a list of all vlans grouped by L2ipaddress

1.2.3.4|mikevlan,tomvlan,anavlan

1.2.3.5|brianvlan,evevlan
etc

Any ideas?
