Here is my search in question, the common field is the SessionID

index=eis_lb apm_eis_rdp
|fillnull value="-"
|search UserID!="-"
| rex field=_raw "\/Common\/apm_eis_rdp:ent-eis[:a-zA-Z0-9_.-](?'SessionID'........)"
|search company_info="*"
|rename company_info as "Agency"
| table _time, SessionID, UserID,Full_Name, Agency, HostName, client_ip
| sort - _time

_time                                  SessionID UserID      Full_Name Agency   HostName client_ip

If I remove the Search UserID I can see the matching session ID and the client_ip is present.


_time                               SessionID       UserID    Full_Name    Agency      HostName              client_ip

How can I create a search like above to show the client_ip maching the SessionID

Hi

normally you could use e.g. stats to do correlation between events. In your case try e.g.

...
| stats first(_time) as _time values(*) as * by SessionID

This will generate one event by each SessionID with contains other fields as multivalue fields or if values was same in all combined events then normal field.

Thank You, this worked, the only thing I wish I could see is just the matched lines and get rid of the blank rows.

You should look e.g where an isnull function. With it you could drop unwanted rows away.
