Hello, please, I would like to know if it is possible to use multiple and different sourcetypes with the splunk "transaction" command.

Thanks and kind regards.

What the transaction command does is simply grouping/merging events with the same value of the specified field(s) into one event. sourcetype is just another field for this command. So a simple search like this would create transaction events from multiple sourcetypes:

sourcetype=my_sourcetype1 OR sourcetype=mysourcetype2 | transaction myTransactionField

The only thing that matters is that the content of the field(s) used to build the transaction has the same value in those events that should get merged.
