Merge cells together when having one same Value

Hello Together

I have a little difficulty with the merging of cells. The idea is that if the results for the value JobID in the table have the same value, the entries for Start Time and End Time should be merged.

 

 

 

index=MYINDEX host=MYHOST sourcetype=regway:server status=COMPLETED
| eval "End Time"=strftime(_time,"%c") 
| append [ search index=MYINDEX host=MYHOST sourcetype=MYINDEX:server "Created metadata export job with id:" 
| rex "id: (?<JobID>\w{1,}-\w{1,}-\w{1,}-\w{1,}-\w{1,})" 
| eval "Start Time"=strftime(_time,"%c")]
| sort JobID
| table "Start Time", "End Time" , JobID

 

 

 

My Result looks currently like this:

Simply used 

| stats values(*) as * by JobID

You may want to look at using a transaction to merge the events into a single transaction, though this can be expensive depending on certain factors. Something like adding "| transaction JobID" after the append should do it. Alternately you could do a join rather than append.
