| stats values(content.InterfaceName) as InterfaceName  values(content.Error) as error values(message) as message values(priority) as  priority min(timestamp) AS Logon_Time, max(timestamp) AS Logoff_Time BY  applicationName,correlationId
| table  Status InterfaceName applicationName Timestamp "Total Elapsed Time"  FileList "SuccessFile/FailureFile" Response  correlationId

The where command does not handle wildcards.  Instead, use the search command.

The values function produces multi-value fields, which require special handling.

Try  this query.

index=mulesoft environment=* applicationName IN ("processor","api") message!="No files found for*"
| stats values(content.InterfaceName) as InterfaceName  values(content.Error) as error values(message) as message values(priority) as  priority min(timestamp) AS Logon_Time, max(timestamp) AS Logoff_Time BY  applicationName,correlationId
| where isnotnull(mvfind(InterfaceName, "Test"))
| table Status InterfaceName applicationName Timestamp "Total Elapsed Time" FileList "SuccessFile/FailureFile" Response correlationId

"ABCD",
"COP")

I don't understand what is meant by "mvfind is not for interfacename".  The mvfind function can be used with any multi-value field (InterfaceName is multi-valued since it is created by the values function).

The mvfind function can be used with multiple values in a regular expression.

 

| where isnotnull(mvfind(InterfaceName("ABC|ABCD|COP"))

The "no file found" message is excluded in the base search.

index=mulesoft environment=* applicationName IN ("processor","api") message!="No files found for*"
