Find Job Duration from two separate events.

Jobs Running on daily basis.

Events like-

1) "Job_Name": "XYZ", "status":" Start"

2) "Job_Name": "XYZ", "status":" SUCCESS"

3) "Job_Name": "XYZ", "status":" Failure"

Need to calculate and display the job run time  and status on dashboard for multiple days/runs.

Below query works well for single run but for multiple run runtime is not getting calculated.

search to fetch both "job started" and "job finished" events
| eval eventType=if(searchmatch("job started"),"Start","End")
| chart values(_time) over Job_Name by eventType
| eval jobduration=End-Start
