I have an index with events containing a src_ip but not a username for the event. I have another index of VPN auth logs that has the assigned IP and username. But the VPN IPs are randomly assigned. I need to get the username from the VPN logs where vpn.client_ip matches event.src_ip. But I need to make sure that the returned username is the one that was assigned during the event. In short, I need to get the last vpn client_ip assignment to match the event.src_ip BEFORE the event so the vpn.username would be the correct one for event.src_ip. Here's a generic representation of my current query but I get nothing back.
index=event ... | join left=event right=vpn where event.src_ip=vpn.client_ip max=1 usetime=true earlier=true [search index=vpn]
