How to populate fields from two indexes that share one field

Hello,
I asked this question yesterday but didn't get the right solution. I have two indexes with different fields and only share one common field, I want to have a table where it display some fields form both indexes. So far, it displays fields from one index only, not sure what I'm doing wrong. Here is my attempt.

Note: field 2 and field 3 from index=1 , field 4 and field 5 from index=2 , common field is name

index=1 OR index=2
|eval name=coalescce(name1,name2)
|stats values(field2) as fields2 values(field3) as field3 values(field4) as field4 values(field5) as field5 by name

thank you in advance!!!

Hi

You should use join command to correlate data from one index to data in other index.

index=1 | stats c by name1, field2, field3 | rename name1 as name2| join name2 [| search index=2 | stats c by name2, field4, field5]

other example : index=_internal | stats c by host sourcetype | join type=left host [ | search index=_audit | stats c by host source]

Thanks

not sure why or what you need to coalesce if the split by field is the same ...
index = a or index = b name=* |stats values(field2) as fields2 values(field3) as field3 values(field4) as field4 values(field5) as field5 by name

I need coalesce because it's the same field but named differently in each index. however, they both have same data. The query you provided didn't work
