Hi there i have log something like this:

id=4555 event=Enter data1=12
id=4555 event=Connect data1=23
id=4555 event=Exit data1=28
id=4556 event=Enter data1=12
id=4556 event=Connect data1=23
id=4556 event=Exit data1=28

then i use | transaction id

and i receive my events gouped by id, but now, i need to create a table like this:

id | data1 from line where event=Enter | data1 from line whre event=Connect

can someone advise me, what tool i should read about?

You can access the elements of the multi-valued field with the mvindex() function of eval;

your_base_search 
| transaction id 
| eval Enter_Data_1 = mvindex(data1, 0) 
| eval Connect_Data_1 = mvindex(data1,1) 
| table id, Enter_Data_1, Connect_Data_1

output

id     Enter_Data_1      Connect_Data_1
4555   12                23
4556   12                23

Hope this helps,

K

Have you tried limiting the search to events that match that criteria?
Add this prior to the transaction:

|search event="Enter" OR event="Connect" |
