Hi - I would like to join two logs and get specific result as table. I want to join by two common fields. Been working on getting this all day and need help.

so I have log 1 as below and want these values in a table

index="atti" sourcetype="strongmail" source="/data1/strongmail/log/strongmail-device-category.log" | table DateStamp UserId
mailingid ttype DeviceInfo

I have log 2
index="atti" sourcetype="strongmail" source="/data1/strongmail/log/strongmail-success.log"

The common fields I want to join by mailingid,UserId.

In this second log, I want to only return the field EMAIL

In the end I need including the first logs output and second logs output in a table

So looking for this

DateStamp UserId EMAIL mailingid ttype DeviceInfo

Thanks for any help, if more info is needed, I will gladly input them in this forum

Thank you for your help.

I was curious what to do when the second search does not have a common field to join on and ommitting those results.

So I specifically want to output when there is an actual join with both fields for the two searches.

Again appreciate the help.
