Hello !
I have a date showing in this format (str) : 20240324090045.560961-240
I've been trying to convert it into a readable date format for my dashboards, with no success so far.
Does someone have a solution ? I'm getting nowhere with the splunk docs or other solved problems.
Thanks !
Depending on what you are trying to do with the StartTime, you may need one or both of the evals
eventtype=windows_index_windows eventtype=hostmon_windows host="///" (Name="///*") OR (Name="///*") OR (Name="///*") StartTime="*"
| table Name, StartTime
``` Parse strptime the StartTime into an epoch time value ```
| eval epochStartTime=strptime(StartTime,"%Y%m%d%H%M%S.%6N%z")
``` Format strftime the epoch time into a string ```
| eval stringStartTime=strftime(epochStartTime,"%F %T.%6N")
It works perfectly for the specified date, but how do I do include it in my command if I want your answer to be the format for every StartTime :
eventtype=windows_index_windows eventtype=hostmon_windows host="///" (Name="///*") OR (Name="///*") OR (Name="///*") StartTime="*"
| table Name, StartTime
Sorry if I'm not clear, English is not my first language

| eval stringStartTime=strftime(epochStartTime,"%F %T.%6N")
It worked !
Thank you so much I've been struggling with that problem for so long !
Have a wonderful day
