How can we show or display application response time based on session id?

hi,
we running load test on 6 of the micro services and each has different API. we are indexing those logs into Splunk for monitoring.

log has a details like org name,app name,session id,uri,msg,ResponseTime,ResponseCode etc
i extracted all them in Splunk and each has some values.
session id we can find after endpoint
/public/sso/keepalive|79BF94E2-8165-b302-2869-28cc942d6e
/public/sso/keepalive|79BF94E2-8165-b302-2869-28cc942d6e

incoming flow always starts from application app-ca-sit and makes a call to app-sso-sit, this process and complete the request and see this app alone responsetime in 2nd log

1st log also shows responsetime but it gives you the total response time of both micro services.

how can we show or display application response times in order? i am attaching sample diagram which has a good understanding.

If all you want is the response time for each app for a particular api url within a gien session id, then you can try this:

your query to return event
| rex "cf_app_name":"(?<appName>[^\"]+).+(GET|POST)\|(?<uri>[^\|]+)\|(?<sessionId>[^\|]+).+ResponseTime=(?<responseTime>[^\"]+).+timestamp\":(?<timestamp>[^}]+)"
| table appName, uri, responseTime, sessionId, timestamp
| sort sessionId, -timestamp

Hi,
I was able to display them in table with my already extracted fileds in splunk instance

Can we display them in any charts other than table?

You can display them in time hart like
| timechart avg(responseTime) by appName
Or maybe on uri. Explore with functions like min, max, avg etc in time chart.

If you like you can represent pie chart of percentage of appName and so on...
