Perform an Inner Join Query to Combine Two Datasets

Query

logscale
defineTable(name="users_table",query={orgId=1},include=[username, name])
| orgId=1
| operation=createdFile
| match(table=users_table, field=username)
| select([username, name])

Introduction

In this example, the defineTable() function is used as an inner join query to extract and combine information from two different datasets.

The event set for the query is in one repository, but the event set for each query is shown separately to identify the two sets of information. The first event set is:

usernamenameorgId
user1John Doe1
user2,Jane Doe",1  
user3Bob Smith2

and the other event set:

usernameoperation
user1createdFile
user2deletedFile
user3createdFile

Step-by-Step

  1. Starting with the source repository events.

  2. flowchart LR; %%{init: {"flowchart": {"defaultRenderer": "elk"}} }%% repo{{Events}} 0@{ shape: win-pane, label: "Table" } 1[/Filter/] 2[/Filter/] 3[/Filter/] 4[/Filter/] result{{Result Set}} repo --> 0 0 --> 1 1 --> 2 2 --> 3 3 --> 4 4 --> result style 0 fill:#ff0000,stroke-width:4px,stroke:#000;
    logscale
    defineTable(name="users_table",query={orgId=1},include=[username, name])

    Generates an ad-hoc table named users_table that has the fields username and name and filters used where the orgId field equals 1.

  3. flowchart LR; %%{init: {"flowchart": {"defaultRenderer": "elk"}} }%% repo{{Events}} 0@{ shape: win-pane, label: "Table" } 1[/Filter/] 2[/Filter/] 3[/Filter/] 4[/Filter/] result{{Result Set}} repo --> 0 0 --> 1 1 --> 2 2 --> 3 3 --> 4 4 --> result style 1 fill:#ff0000,stroke-width:4px,stroke:#000;
    logscale
    | orgId=1

    Selects only users from the orgId where the value equals 1.

  4. flowchart LR; %%{init: {"flowchart": {"defaultRenderer": "elk"}} }%% repo{{Events}} 0@{ shape: win-pane, label: "Table" } 1[/Filter/] 2[/Filter/] 3[/Filter/] 4[/Filter/] result{{Result Set}} repo --> 0 0 --> 1 1 --> 2 2 --> 3 3 --> 4 4 --> result style 2 fill:#ff0000,stroke-width:4px,stroke:#000;
    logscale
    | operation=createdFile

    Filters on the field operation for users who performed the action of creating a file by looking for the value createdFile.

  5. flowchart LR; %%{init: {"flowchart": {"defaultRenderer": "elk"}} }%% repo{{Events}} 0@{ shape: win-pane, label: "Table" } 1[/Filter/] 2[/Filter/] 3[/Filter/] 4[/Filter/] result{{Result Set}} repo --> 0 0 --> 1 1 --> 2 2 --> 3 3 --> 4 4 --> result style 3 fill:#ff0000,stroke-width:4px,stroke:#000;
    logscale
    | match(table=users_table, field=username)

    Joins the filtered events (users that created a file in organization 1) using the username field with the users_table table.

  6. flowchart LR; %%{init: {"flowchart": {"defaultRenderer": "elk"}} }%% repo{{Events}} 0@{ shape: win-pane, label: "Table" } 1[/Filter/] 2[/Filter/] 3[/Filter/] 4[/Filter/] result{{Result Set}} repo --> 0 0 --> 1 1 --> 2 2 --> 3 3 --> 4 4 --> result style 4 fill:#ff0000,stroke-width:4px,stroke:#000;
    logscale
    | select([username, name])

    Selects the username and name fields to be displayed in the result set.

  7. Event Result set.

Summary and Results

The result will output one event:

usernamename
user1John Doe
