I have data in above format and I want to get the output as a report which shows how much time each AppName takes to process a tarnsaction. in below format:

TransID App1 App2 ....
1 0.002 0.002 ....
2 0.006 0.005 ...

I tried using transaction command but it gives me the duration based on the first and last event. but In my case I need how much time a transaction was in a particular app?

Thanks.

You should be able to do that with stats. First, convert the timestamp field into epoch form so the difference can be computed.

... | eval ts=strptime(timestamp, "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%3N")
| stats range(ts) by TransID AppName
