Well, I used join because I get staggered table results when I use append search. If I use neither, and simply combine my stats clauses [|stats count as retries, dc(gateway) as gateways by CN | where gateways>3 AND retries>100], the search only picks up the retries limit and not the gateway count.
index=x, host=y sourcetype=z for both searches, no different.
As for sample data, here are the results when I try to run this...
Not what I want (triggered for number of retries, but not for number of gateways)
gateway gateways corenode retries
hys 4 DEN 1878
This is what I want: more than 3 gateways crossed the 100 retries limit.
gateway gateways corenode retries
den 4 SLC 108
rks 4 SLC 303
rno 4 SLC 1335
sgu 4 SLC 6180
