Hi All

I have 2 indexes. 1st indexes contains list of names. i have to pass each name as input to second index and calculate values for each name.

We can use two quires to get each name and pass to 2nd index. But i need them in single query. expecting output fields from 1st index as well as calculated fields from the 2nd index.. ?????

If name is the common field in both indexes, you can use below to get all attributes for a name from two indexes.

index=indexA | table name,..other fields from indexA... | join name [search index=indexB | table name,..other fields from indexB...]
