I'm trying to search between 2 indexes that correlates field value to return back certain fields.

For example index a has the fieldname named src_ip and index b has a fieldname named src. The values are the same, but the fieldname are different. I want to use these values to correlate the data, but I want to also return field names that aren't in index a, but located in index b.

 

Here's my current quey.

 

index=a categories="media"
| where bytes_out > bytes_in 
| fields _time, cs_user, src_ip, cs_auth_group, cs_host, cs_method, status, bytes_in, bytes_out, cs_User_Agent
| eval src=src_ip
| join src
    [ search index=b 
    | fields log_subtype, cat]

Hi @payton_tayvion,

You should keep src field on subsearch in order to be able to join. Please try below;

index=a categories="media"
| where bytes_out > bytes_in 
| fields _time, cs_user, src_ip, cs_auth_group, cs_host, cs_method, status, bytes_in, bytes_out, cs_User_Agent
| eval src=src_ip
| join src
    [ search index=b 
    | fields src, log_subtype, cat]
