Logic for looped if greater than statement

Hey There,

Below I have a field in where ABC > 2500 cuz the value is actually 2800. So then If ABC>than 2500 add 1 day to the Human_readable field. I have already created the logic to adding 1 day to the Human_readable field.... Question now is how can I write the logic for it in a nested loop? So If ABC>2500 add 1 day to human readable.

This is my logic that I have thus far:

| eval Then_Set=if(ABC>2500,strftime(strptime(Human_readable,"%B %d, %Y") +86400, "%B %d, %Y")

This is what I have so far:

| makeresults | eval ABC="2800", DEF="3", GHI="5" | eval rel_Time="11102021" | eval Epoch_Time=strpTime(rel_Time,"%m%d%Y") | eval Human_readable=strfTime(Epoch_Time, "%B %d, %Y") | eval Service=if(ABC>2500, "Send Alert", "No Alert") | eval Add_1Day=strftime(strptime(Human_readable,"%B %d, %Y") +86400, "%B %d, %Y") | eval Then_Set=if(ABC>2500,strftime(strptime(Human_readable,"%B %d, %Y") +86400, "%B %d, %Y") | table Service Epoch_Time Human_readable Add_1Day Then_Set

Maybe you can clarify what is expected from this "nested loop" and how is results from the logic you created so far different from the expectation?

By the way, the last if() statement in your illustration is incomplete in syntax. It should be something like

| eval Then_Set=if(ABC>2500,strftime(strptime(Human_readable,"%B %d, %Y") +86400, "%B %d, %Y"), "none")

For example,

| makeresults | eval ABC="2800", DEF="3", GHI="5" | eval rel_Time="11102021" | eval Epoch_Time=strpTime(rel_Time,"%m%d%Y") | eval Human_readable=strfTime(Epoch_Time, "%B %d, %Y") | eval Service=if(ABC>2500, "Send Alert", "No Alert") | eval Add_1Day=strftime(strptime(Human_readable,"%B %d, %Y") +86400, "%B %d, %Y") | eval Then_Set=if(ABC>2500,strftime(strptime(Human_readable,"%B %d, %Y") +86400, "%B %d, %Y"), "none") | table Service Epoch_Time Human_readable Add_1Day Then_Set

gets you

Service	Epoch_Time	Human_readable	Add_1day	Then_Set
Send Alert	1636531200.000000	November 10, 2021	November 11, 2021	November 11, 2021

Thanks, basically it was my syntax that was throwing me off... since I had:

| eval Then_Set=if(ABC>2500,strftime(strptime(Human_readable,"%B %d, %Y") +86400, "%B %d, %Y")

I was not sure of the syntax therefore I was not seeing expected results - and you demonstrated the correct syntax:

| eval Then_Set=if(ABC>2500,strftime(strptime(Human_readable,"%B %d, %Y") +86400, "%B %d, %Y"), "none")
