Hello, I have a field called "startTime"

startTime: 1699148280000

I would like to convert it to human readable. Not having any luck.

Any help would be appreciated.

It looks like it might be milliseconds, so divide by 1000 before using strftime() to format it into human readable format.

| eval start_time=strftime(startTime/1000,"%F %T.%3N")
