Hi kiran331,

Can you please try this one??

(index=abc result=a) OR (index=abc result=b ) OR (index=xyz find=c ) 
| eval field = if(isnotnull(result) AND ((index="abc" AND (result="a" OR result="b"))),result,if(isnotnull(find) AND (index="xyz" AND find="c"),find,'undefined'))
| timechart span=10m count by field

Thanks

Try this:

(index=abc result=a) OR (index=abc result=b) OR (index=xyz find=c)
| eval field=case(index="xyz", "c",
                  result="a", "a",
                  result="b", "b",
                  true(), "N/A")
| timechart span=10m count BY field

You can't use eval within base search like that. You should add it after the base search using an expression based on index name. Like this

(index=abc result=a) OR (index=abc result=b|eval field=b) OR (index=xyz find=c|eval field=c)
| eval field=case(index="abc" AND result="a","a",index="abc" AND result="b", "b", index="xyz" AND find="c", "c", true(),"undefined")
|timechart span=10m count by field

You left the eval parts in your base search.

What issue do you see with your current query? It should give you two line (assuming you're using line chart) for both indexes into one.
