4 | YELLOW
5 | ORANGE

SOURCETYPE B:

You can definitely use the suggestion above about creating a lookup, and then using the lookup command like this:

| lookup csvName.csv ID_1 OUTPUT ISSUE, and then you can run aggregations on that ISSUE field (the ID_1 is the joining field)

You can use a stats command as well, but it's a bit difficult to understand what is the most ideal given the data you've given and you'd have to do a bit more fanciness with the fields. If you're just looking for instances of B, you can filter your second sourcetype to that in the base search and then run a command like this:

base search filtering to only B logs
| stats count(ISSUE) as issueCount, values(DESCRIPTION) as description by ID_1

Let me know if this is helpful/you have any other questions

Seems you have material to build a static lookup. Your sourcetype A that has the description can be outputed to a lookups that you can use to enrich your stats on sourcetype B
