You need to describe the logic from the input to the desired output.  There are at least two possible ways to match hostname1 and hostname2:

  1. Match by position.  This is the route @ITWhisperer takes.
  2. Match by hostname.

If the requirement is to match by name, this is one way to do it.

| foreach hostname1 hostname2
    [eval matchhost = if(isnull(matchhost) OR mvcount(<<FIELD>>) > mvcount(matchhost), <<FIELD>>, matchhost)]
| mvexpand matchhost
| foreach hostname1 hostname2
    [eval <<FIELD>> = mvindex(<<FIELD>>, mvfind(<<FIELD>>, matchhost))]
| fields - matchhost
