How to modify my stats search to join multiple fields from three sources?

I have data coming in from three sources, with three different sets of fields:

Source 1: Filename
Source 2: Filename, Unique_Identifier
Source 3: Unique_Identifier

These sources all work with the same data, and the data flows from Source 1 to Source 2 to Source 3.

I would like to generate a report on data flowing through these three sources, and am trying to run stats to do so, e.g.

search query | stats range(_time)  by Unique_Identifier, Filename 

But this is only returning data from source 2 where both the Unique_Identifier and Filename fields both exist. Is there a good way to include records from Source 1 and Source 3 as well?

You could edit your current search to include Filename & Unique_Identifier to all 3 sources using eventstats like this

search query | eventstats values(Filename) as Filename by  Unique_Identifier | eventstats values(Unique_Identifier) as Unique_Identifier by Filename | stats range(_time)  by Unique_Identifier, Filename
