I Have Two sourcetypes defined . i need to write a query integrating the two sourcetypes and should get a single result.

i.e for example
Sourcetype="X" | (some logic )|stats avg(duration) as Avgresponsetime1

Sourcetype="Y" | (some logic ) |stats avg(duration) as Avgresponsetime2

Now i need a single Query which gives me the ouput as avgresponsetime of the avg from the previous two reponsetimes..

i have tried like this..but didnt work..

(Sourcetype="X" | (some logic )|stats avg(duration) as Avgresponsetime1) OR ( Sourcetype="Y" | (some logic ) |stats avg(duration) as Avgresponsetime2 ) | eval responsetime=avgresponsetime1+avgresponsetime2 | table responsetime

Please help me on this asap..thanx

You can't put an OR between them because by the time you get to the OR you've already "left" the initial search command and piped it to a number of other commands.

You could use append for getting results from the two searches and then run stats on all results:

 Sourcetype="X" | (some logic )| append [search Sourcetype="Y" | (some logic )] | stats avg(duration) as responsetime
