Alerting

How to include time field in email message body?

Hi All,

I'm setting an alert and sending email notification to my inbox.

I have a field called Time and basically it calculates the duration. Example:  "25 minutes ago"    

Hence , when I include the field in the message , like below:

$result.Time$   

I get message in my inbox in seconds. 
Example: 

Host abcd CPU usage reached 97% 1680502445 . Please investigate.

So if you look here , the 1680502445 is the time duration in seconds.

It suppose to pick the summarized time as per the column result.

Please help  how can I get the same output like what I have gathered in the Time1 column. 

 

Thanks

Hi @Murali,

could you share your search?

probably the issue is in the Time formatiing, e.g. you could add at the end of your search:

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

Ciao.
