Join field form inputlookup failed

Hi, I am getting crazy with a simply JOIN statement to use Tenable data in Splunk.

The goal is to enrich the KV store collection for Tenable.sc asset data with the baseScore of a vulnerability. that information is raw events in a dedicate sourcetype

this query gets a list of plugin_id with the baseScore

 

 

index=nessus sourcetype="tenable:sc:plugin" 
| rename id as plugin_id 
| table plugin_id baseScore

 

 

this query gets a some fields from that tenable KV store

 

 

| inputlookup sc_vuln_data_lookup 
| fields dns_name, first_found, last_found, plugin_id,state 

 

 

When I try to do a join, I simple get no results at all.

 

 

| inputlookup sc_vuln_data_lookup 
| fields dns_name, first_found, last_found, plugin_id,state 
| join plugin_id 
    [ search index=nessus sourcetype="tenable:sc:plugin" 
    | rename id as plugin_id 
    | table plugin_id baseScore]

 

 

I guess it is something simple I am missing but I am not capable to see it.

could anyone point me to the mistake?

many thanks
