Elapsed time logging in splunk

[msrama5]

Hi All, does splunk log the elapsed time automatically ? I am trying to join few different source types in splunk that are joined by unique correlationid id logged and flowing between them , I don't see elapsed times on all calls. I want to compute the latency between different calls for unique ids flowing between them, splunk time stamp is not accurate, what is expected here ? do I need to ask my feature teams to log elapsed time in splunk ? is this not automatically logged ? I don't see this logged for many source types in splunk as is.

Splunk does not compute elapsed time automatically. The transaction command will compute "duration", which is sort of an elapsed time, but since only you know your data, it really falls on you to compute elapsed time.

Tell us more about your data and we may be able to offer some suggestions.
