Nested transactions

I have data records in the following format:

Method=OuterTransactionName Type=Start ID=12345

Method=InnerTransactionNameAAAA Type=Start ID=12345

Method=InnerTransactionNameAAAA Type=End ID=12345

Method=InnerTransactionNameBBBB Type=Start ID=12345

Method=InnerTransactionNameBBBB Type=End ID=12345
.
.
.

Method=InnerTransactionNameZZZZ Type=Start ID=12345

Method=InnerTransactionNameZZZZ Type=End ID=12345

Method=OuterTransactionName Type=End ID=12345

So, every transaction record has the same id, with the outer transaction having a method name different from the inner transaction method names. Not sure how to structure the search to both list and/or find the durations of both the outer transaction as well as the inner transactions

This should do it (tested on your sample logs)

your base search | transaction ID,Method startswith=Type=Start endswith=Type=End
