How to calculate the duration between the last 2 events in a transaction?

I would like to calculate the duration between the last two events in a transaction. An example transaction looks something like:

2015-12-31 13:03:03,695  Outgoing  UserId="99999999999" MsgType="Menu" Internal="START" 
2015-12-31 13:03:15,437  Incoming  UserId="99999999999" MsgType="Refresh"
2015-12-31 13:03:19,847  Incoming  UserId="99999999999" MsgType="Key" Key="1" 
2015-12-31 13:03:20,238  Outgoing  UserId="99999999999" MsgType="Menu" 

How can I calculate the duration between last Incoming and last Outgoing events?

Try something like this... This is untested, so you will have to tweak to your data

First extract Incoming and Outgoing into a field, say dir

.... | rex "\b(?<dir>[Outgoing|Incoming]+)\b"

Then add a serial number to both directions.. like this

| streamstats count by dir

Then sort by dir to group Incoming with Outgoing

| sort dir

Finally use the range command to get the time difference

| streamstats range(_time) as diff by dir

This should give you some idea as to get what you need
