Dear All,

I need to calculate time difference for 2 time stamps as below:

alt text

Query:
source="E:\Data Upload to Splunk\CSL_KM_Reports\EMAIL\test.csv" host="DE2VS567" index="csl_km" sourcetype="csv" date_month="october" | eval field=split(Subject,"DEOLYCLO02") | rename field as "EmailRecTime" ,date_month as Month | eval earliesttime=strptime(EmailRecTime,"%d/%m/%Y %H:%M:%S")| eval latesttime=strptime(Date,"%d/%m/%Y %H:%M:%S") | eval diff = tostring(earliesttime-latesttime,"duration")| eval diff1 = round(diff/60/60/24) | eval duration2=replace(diff,"(\d*)+*(\d+):(\d+):(\d+)","\1 days \2 hours \3 minutes \4 secs") | eval status_code=case(diff>="00:02:00.000000", "NOTMET" ,diff<="00:02:00.000000", "MET") | table ClusterName,Month,EmailRecTime,Date,latesttime,earliesttime,diff,duration2,status_code

My first column has earliest time to be less that latestime and Diff output is blank.Please help on this.

If you subtract the latesttime from the earliesttime as per your search it returns a negative number. That's why you're not getting a duration.
