Explanation

In Splunk, a transaction is a group of events that are logically related by one or more shared field values - such as a session ID, user name, or IP address. Events within a transaction do not need to share the same timestamp (they typically span a time range), do not need to have the same sourcetype, and do not need to have identical sets of fields. The defining characteristic is relational linkage through shared field values, which is what the transaction command uses to group events together.
