Hi Team,
I have a crazy requirement here, I have a index which is actually a combination of two different log types with one specific field being common to both of them, i am in need to filter out specific set of fields from these messages to figure out the cause for any error (ideal production support scenario).
I would like to know if there is any specific visualization format to achieve this, while data table is very close enough to resolve this problem, the table seems to be very huge one considering the count of the unique identifier field. Please let me know if there is any other better approach to fulfill this requirement.Thanks.

I'm a little confused here, and it might help to see visually what you're trying to accomplish, as well as a sample of the data you're looking at. Thanks!
