Can you please try this?

index=asg Process_name=WLR_22-15_Rating earliest =-5m 
| eval start_time=strptime(start_dtm,"%d-%b-%Y-%H:%M:%S"), end_time=strptime(end_dtm,"%d-%b-%Y-%H:%M:%S") 
| eval duration=end_time-start_time 
| table duration

Example:

| makeresults 
| eval _raw="15-OCT-2019-11:25:02,Process_name=WLR_22-15_Rating,start_dtm=14-OCT-2019-22:15:40,end_dtm=15-OCT-2019-00:47:36,errors=10503,work_done=651649" 
| extract 
| eval start_time=strptime(start_dtm,"%d-%b-%Y-%H:%M:%S"), end_time=strptime(end_dtm,"%d-%b-%Y-%H:%M:%S") | eval duration=end_time-start_time | table duration
