Sample log data
{‘job_id,:’1’, ‘stage_state’:’build_begin’,’stage_type:’build’,’start_time’:’2019-08-15 15:00:00’}
{‘job_id,:’1’, ‘stage_state’:’build_end’,’stage_type:’build’,’endtime’:’2019-08-15 15:10:00’}
{‘job_id,:’1’, ‘stage_state’:’exc_begin’,’stage_type:’exec’,’start_time’:’2019-08-15 15:10:01’}
stage_state’:’exc_end’,’stage_type:’exec’,’end_time’:’2019-08-15 15:20:00’}

I am trying get a table like this output
Job_id stage time taken

1 Build. 10
1 Exc. 10
1 Total. 20

I am new to Splunk I tried a few things but. I cannot get nothing close to expected answer

Thanks

Try this: Watchout for your single quotes in the code. I have blindly used your raw data. Tweak the code as per your needs. Accept and/or upvote my reply if it helps. Good luck.

|makeresults 
| eval _raw=" {‘job_id,:’1’, ‘stage_state’:’build_begin’,’stage_type:’build’,’start_time’:’2019-08-15 15:00:00’} "
|append[
|makeresults 
| eval _raw="
{‘job_id,:’1’, ‘stage_state’:’build_end’,’stage_type:’build’,’end_time’:’2019-08-15 15:10:00’} "]
