looking for a pattern in iis files with logparser s

Question

I am looking to extract from iis when a certain user session indicated here by aspnetsessionid times out prior to 10 minutes session timeout I have set on this application.

I am trying to parse iis logs and I am not sure how to take each sessionid and count how many minutes it lasted.

After I have this first part solved, I will look for which of the sessions ended with a call to the page timeout.aspx although it would be nice to specify this in one query.

I am trying to work on this query

SELECT  
TO_STRING(time, 'm') as mins,
    EXTRACT_TOKEN(EXTRACT_TOKEN(cs(Cookie), 1, 'ASP.NET_SessionId='), 0, ';+__ut') as    ASPNETSESSIONID From C:\logs\ex11*.log
GROUP BY ASPNETSESSIONID, mins

Here is an example of my log file instance I am trying to catch

Line Number Date    Time    Client-IP   Server IP   Server Port Request Verb    Request URI, ASPNETSessionID

import the data into db, then query

SELECT * from ((SELECT MAX(LocalDateTime) FROM dpo.importtable AS [initial] WHERE sessionid = raw_data.sessionid) - (SELECT MIN(LocalDateTime) FROM dpo.importtable AS [initial] WHERE sessionid = raw_data.sessionid) as diff) as g where diff < CAST('1900-01-01 00:10:00.000' AS datetime)
