Splunk Search

Newbie Question: How do you search multiple log types at the same time.

I'm trying to query the event log and iis logs at the same time. I would like to correlate application pool crashes/errors with request from the iis logs. I have my two working examples below but I’m not sure how to combine them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

sourcetype=iis host=Server1

source="WinEventLog:*" index="wineventlog" host=Server1

I think what you are trying to do would be something like this:

(sourcetype=iis host=Server1) OR (source="WinEventLog:*" index="wineventlog" host=Server1)

This would give you the results from either search.
