I have a dashboard that has a bunch of data from one index (I use kibana to dashboard my automation testpass results). I now want to add the logs from the testpass to the same dashboard. However, the logs are indexed using a different index. I planned this out (sort of) such that the log files and the rest of the stuff I'm dashboarding both use the same identifier field. However, the field name is different between the two indices. In one index it is "metadata.tod\_request\_id", in my logs index, it is "tod\_request\_id". How do I do this cross-index thing all on one dashboard?

I ended up creating scripted fields on the other indices that match the index field name of the log files instead.
