Stats on 2 indexes

Hello,

I have 2 distinct indexes with distinct values.Want to create one final stats query from select fields of both indexes.

 

Ex :

Index A

Fields X Y Z

Stats Count (X) Avg(Y) by XYZ

Index B

feilds KM

stats Count (K) Max(M) by K M

i am able search both indexes  and give separate stats, If I give stats on all fields by XYZKM it is not giving any results.

Note: No common feilds between both index’s.

Hi @Satyapv ,

as @yuanliu said, I don't understand why to put disomogeneous results in te same search.

Anyway, you could use the append command, but you'll have empty values in the columns of the other search:

index=IndexA
| stats Count(X) AS X Avg(Y) AS Y BY XYZ
| append [ search 
   index=IndexB
   | stats Count(K) AS K Max(M) AS M by KM ]

Ciao.

thank you.


With huge dashboard looks like I am hitting maximum concurrent searches Splunk allows was try to see if I could combine.

would append [search…] would be started as new concurrent search?

Forget Splunk.  If there are no common fields between indices, can you illustrate what the stats result would look like?  Please show some sample tables of field values in each index (in text, anonymize as needed).  Then, illustrate the corresponding output table (also in text) that you envision with the two data data tables.  If anonymizing data is difficult, illustrate mock data tables and calculate desired output table by hand, so volunteers can understand your use case.

Let me also point out that your illustrated mock code, "Stats Count (X) Avg(Y) by XYZ", is confusing because you mentioned no field named XYZ.  The other mock code, "stats Count (K) Max(M) by K M", also doesn't make sense because when you group by M, Max(M) can only have the value of that group M, unless K and M do not appear in the same event, in which case Max(M) is null.
