I want to see the duration that a user has been logged in to the PC for. Would the transaction command work the best in this situation?
Here is my base search that I am going to go off of:
index=A host=Domain-controller Account_Name=UserA TaskCategory=Logoff OR TaskCategory=Logon | eval k8targetaccount=mvindex(Account_Name, 1) | rename k8targetaccount as Account_Names | table _time Account_Names Source_Network_Address TaskCategory

Yes, the transaction command will work. You could do something like this
.... | transaction Account_Names startswith="login" endswith="logout" | table Account_Names duration
Having said that, this may or may not not be the most efficient commands for this purpose. For example
... | stats earliest(_time) as login latest(_time) as logout by Account_Names | eval duration = if(logout=login, now()-login, logout-login) | ...
may be faster, but that depends on your data. How many times could a user login/logout in a day etc. To handle multiple login/logout, you could use streamstats or eventstats commands. To give the best solution, we will need to see some data
