Splunk Search

Searching and matching from two different indexes and retrieving values from one index

I have two indexes that contain the same ip address but only one index contains hostnames for the ip addresses. How can I search and match the ip addresses from both indexes in the same query and table out each ip address with their corresponding hostname?

Hi cald0002,

Give this a try:

(SPL to get events from index 1) OR (SPL to get events from index 2)
| stats values(hostname) AS hostname by ip

You might need to adapt the query to match the hostname and ip fields according to your events.

hope this helps ...

cheers, MuS
