I have extracted timestamp manually using regex instead of default timestamp. I have different device_ids. Each device_id will have logfile.

I have the following macro query, to remove the events which is decreasing(seconds value are decreasing for the same date marked as bold)

index="xxxx" source="*$Device_ID$*xxxx*"
| eval Device_ID=mvindex(split(source,"/"),5)
| rex field=_raw "(?<timestamp>[^|]+)"
| table Device_ID timestamp
| streamstats count as s_no by Device_ID
| sort 0 - s_no
| table Device_ID s_no timestamp
| streamstats current=f last(timestamp) as last_timestamp by Device_ID
| eval last_timestamp_h=last_timestamp, timestamp_h=timestamp
| eval last_timestamp=strptime(last_timestamp,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%4N")
| eval timestamp=strptime(timestamp,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%4N")
| eval diff=timestamp-last_timestamp
| eval ref=if(diff<0,last_timestamp,null)
| filldown ref
| eval ref_diff=timestamp-ref
| fillnull ref_diff value=0
| search ref_diff>=0
| fields Device_ID s_no timestamp_h


But when i try to run for all devices, some values are missing and got messed.

How can i run for each device_id separately and store the result
