Hi All

I am trying to get timestamp difference for the following kql filter

Here log\_message and timestamp are fields

Screenshot attached

log\_message : "submit async job-514" or log\_message : "Complete async job-514"

The filter throws two documents having different timestamp field values.

Do I need to use scripted fields, vega, timelion to get the difference

Any help on this would be helpful
