</div>

//Below statement creates elapsed.time on end event of task1  
elapsed {  
start\_tag =\> "task1Started"  
end\_tag =\> "task1Completed"  
unique\_id\_field =\> "transactionId"  
}  
//Below statement creates elapsed.time on end event of task2  
elapsed {  
start\_tag =\> "task2Started"  
end\_tag =\> "task2Completed"  
unique\_id\_field =\> "transactionId"  
}  
//I would like add another elapsed.time on end event of task2 which task1 + task2. How to get this done?  
elapsed {  
start\_tag =\> "task1Started"  
end\_tag =\> "task2Completed"  
unique\_id\_field =\> "transactionId"  
}

Appreciate any help.
