Splunk Search

Searching the results of a query in a different index

I have a query that returns a table of extracted IDs:

index=my_index | rex field=_raw "ID=\[(?<id>.*\]\[.*\]" | table id

I simply need to search the results of the above query under a different index, then return a stats count by a field from that index. I've tried using subsearch and join but must not be using them correctly as no results are returned. What would be the correct way to do this?

@9jamie - I may be wrong here but have you tried running something like this?

index=* | rex field=_raw "ID=\[(?<id>.*\]\[.*\]" 
| stats count by id, index

 

I hope this helps!!! Karma/Upvote would be appreciated!!

Hello,

 

You can try the following and pick what best suits your requirements:

 

1. Via Join:

 

index=my_index 
| rex field=_raw "ID=\[(?<id>.*\]\[.*\]"
| table id 
| join id [ search index=foo | table id bar] 
| stats count by bar id

 

 

2. By multisearch:

 

| multisearch [search index=myindex | rex field=_raw "ID=\[(?<id>.*\]\[.*\]"| fields id baz]
[search index=foo | rename id as id2 | fields id2 bar]
| eval match = if(id=id2, 1, 0)
| where match = "1"
| stats count by bar Baz id

 

 

Hope this helps,

Thank you,
Shiv
