Splunk Search

How to find event between two time fields?

bt149
Path Finder

I have logs (Azure logs) that have two time fields, StartTime and ExpirationTime.
Example:
index=azure sourcetype=my_sourcetype
| table StartTime ExpirationTime role user

I want to take the user and see if the user had a failed login attempt in another index / sourcetype between the two time fields StartTime and ExpirationTime.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You could use the results of this search as argument to another one by using subsearch but it's usually better to obtain the same result by other means. I think I'd try to get the combined results from both indexes and then try to group them with stats to find what you're looking for but for that you'd have to be a bit more elaborate as to what you have in and want from that other index.
