Duplication of logs between sourcetype:good-audit and good-audit-admin

I have 2 major questions:

1) I have 2 Sourcetypes A and B with 2 important Fields Category and Enviroment.  I want to compare all of the Category and Environment from Sourcetype A to Sourcetype B and then return Results that are common to both sourcetype.

 

2)  I have 2 Sourcetypes A and B with 2 important Fields Category and Enviroment.  I want to compare all of the Category and Environment from Sourcetype A to Sourcetype B and then return Results that does not show up on both sourcetypes.

Try like this

For requirement 1

(index=A sourcetype=A) OR (index=B sourcetype=B)
| stats dc(sourcetype) as stCount by Category Enviroment
| where stCount=2

For requirement 2

(index=A sourcetype=A) OR (index=B sourcetype=B)
| stats dc(sourcetype) as stCount by Category Enviroment
| where stCount!=2

It's not clear what you want the results to look like, but perhaps this will get you started.

For Question 1, we search for events with the important fields then count the sourcetypes with those fields.  The result is the set of fields where the count is 2.

index=foo (sourcetype=A OR sourcetype=B) Category=* Enviroment=*
| stats dc(sourcetype) as stCount by Category, Environment
| where stCount=2
| table Category, Environment

 

Question 2 is the inverse of Question1.  The answer may a simple inversion of the where clause or may have to be more complex, depending on the desired results.

index=foo (sourcetype=A OR sourcetype=B) Category=* Enviroment=*
| stats values(sourcetype) as sourcetypes by Category, Environment
| where mvcount(sourcetypes)<2
| table Category, Environment, sourcetypes
