Calculate Seconds that are over 60 minutes, to Days, Hours, Minutes, Seconds

Xe03kfp — Mon, 28 Sep 2020 13:18:14 GMT

I have an issue with calculating seconds that go over 60 minutes that sums to be a few days.

One of my eval calculations sums to be 496089.166322 seconds and if I use
|fieldformat "Total Time"=strftime('Total Time', "%M:%S") I get 48:09 as the sum but should calculate to 5 days, 17 hours, 48 minutes and 9 seconds

I am not sure if I have to use a macro to do the job? LINK

Or missing something obvious?

I have searched through every variation of this and have tried all the common date and time format variables with strftime( converts epoch time to format Y )

Here is my current search string where I have to break down the Days Hours Minutes and Seconds along with a ScreenCapture

Search String:

index="snort"
( 2222222 dest_port="") OR (1111111 src_port="") OR ( 1111111 src_ip="") OR (2222222 dest_ip="")
| eval disconnect_time=if(match(_raw,"2222222"),_time,null())
| eval connect_time=if(match(_raw,"1111111"),_time,null())
| eval Ephemeral=if(isnotnull(disconnect_time),dest_port,Ephemeral)
| eval Ephemeral=if(isnotnull(connect_time),src_port,Ephemeral)
| stats min(connect_time) as Connect max(disconnect_time) as Disconnect min(src_ip) as "Source IP" by Ephemeral
| eval Seconds=Disconnect-Connect
| fieldformat "Seconds"=strftime('Seconds', "%s")
| eval Minutes=Seconds/60 | eval Hours=Minutes/60
| eval Days=Hours/24
| convert timeformat="%a %b-%d %Y "at" %H:%M:%S" ctime(Connect) ctime(Disconnect)
| search Connect=* Disconnect=*
| rename Ephemeral as "Connection Port", Total_time as "lala"

Hello,
I think that you have to use "tostring" on the eval command

| eval "Total Time"=tostring(Seconds,"duration")

The result of that command is 5+17:48:09.166322
where "5+" is the number of days.

I hope this help you 🙂

Yes that worked! To make it pretty..is there a way to take away the miliseconds? Also, how would I sum the "Total Seonds" as a "Total Time" like: | transpose | "Total Time" string --so the total time shows left justified?

I found addcoltotals gives me a total in seconds for the field I specify, then I will have to convert the seconds.

Can you get the amount of days on its own?
