How to search based on multiple indexes and their respective sourceTypes

Hi,

   I have index called Index1 which has sourcetype called SourceType1 and another index called Index2 with sourceType called SourceType2.

Some data is in combination of Index1<-> SourceType1 and some data is in combination of Index2<->SourceType2.

 

How can I write a query that targets the correct index and sourceType?

Do you mean like this ?

(index=Index1 sourcetype=SourceType1) OR (index=Index2 sourcetype=SourceType2)

Yes, exactly like this.

I was beating around the bushes, but this one works perfectly.

Thanks a lot @sainag_splunk  👍
