I have two types of logs shown in kibana

1. Response

> ```
> {"origin":"local","type":"response","correlation":"beb2b44b1cef5623","duration":663,"protocol":"HTTP/1.1","status":200,"headers":{"Content-Type":["application/json;charset=UTF-8"],.......
> .........
> :"success"}}}
> 
> ```

1. Request

> ```
> {"origin":"remote","type":"request","correlation":"beb2b44b1cef5623","protocol":"HTTP/1.1","remote":"104.124.54.30","method":"GET"......
> .......
> .......
> }}
> 
> ```

NB. The value for '`correlation`' would be unique and same for each request and response  
I am able to find slow responses using the '`duration`' term from response. I want to map the correlation term and show the request instead of the response in search results.

How can I achieve the same?

Should I be using the join datatype?

The join datatype won't help here because [Kibana doesn't support it yet](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/20255). If you can manage it the best thing to do here would be to normalize your data so the request and response info are in a single document.
