Splunk Search

How to access data in rows of table and then search further using each of those values?

Suppose I have logged data with certain fields like id, level, message etc.
Ex:
id:123
level:warn
Message:xyz task is being performed(msg1)

I need to find all logs which have the above message logged but should not have gone through a log with message 'abc task is being performed'(msg2)
So what I was trying to do was first get all id which have msg1 then use a subsearch to search for each of those ids NOT (msg2) is found. But it isn't working and I even tried:

fields id | map search=" search sourcetype=default_abc id=* NOT "abc task is being performed" " 

Sorry, I am new to this so I might be wrong with understanding a lot of it.

@sai_shreyashi_penugo,

Try

Updated as per comments:

 "your other search terms"  "*task is being performed*"
 |eventstats count(eval(searchmatch("msg1"))) as msg1Count,count(eval(searchmatch("msg2"))) as msg2Count by id
 |where msg1Count>0 AND msg2Count < 1

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

"your other search terms"  "*task is being performed*" NOT "*msg2"

OR

Extract the message and filter using that

"base search" | rex field=Message "performed\((?<msg>.+)\)"|where msg!="Msg2"
---
What goes around comes around. If it helps, hit it with Karma 🙂

thank you for the reply but this won't help completely in my case. I need to check for each id if it has a log with message 1 and does not have a log with message 2.

@sai_shreyashi_penugo,
What about

"your other search terms"  "*task is being performed*"
|eventstats count(eval(searchmatch("msg1"))) as msg1Count,count(eval(searchmatch("msg2"))) as msg2Count by id
|where msg1Count>0 AND msg2Count < 1
