I need to calculate time difference between two (request and response) entries in log

I have logs like below

Request : 23/11/2016 22:03:15,Host1,CheckStatusRequest, cb7319d4-a90f-4c2d-8f5b-5d0f2592fede
Response : 23/11/2016 22:03:17,Host1,CheckStatusResponse, cb7319d4-a90f-4c2d-8f5b-5d0f2592fede,  ResponseCode: SUCCESS

Thanks

You can calculate it using the transaction command.

When the field name is as follows
ex.
_time,host,CheckStatus,KeyCode,ResponseCode
23/11/2016 22:03:15,Host1,CheckStatusRequest, cb7319d4-a90f-4c2d-8f5b-5d0f2592fede
23/11/2016 22:03:17,Host1,CheckStatusResponse, cb7319d4-a90f-4c2d-8f5b-5d0f2592fede, ResponseCode: SUCCESS

your search| transaction host,KeyCode startswith="CheckStatusRequestSTART" endswith="CheckStatusResponse"|table host,key,duration
