Changing Time Format

Hi,

I have a search that displays the "UserID Expiration Date" field as "12/6/2019 21:01"

I would like to convert this to a format of the field "2019-12-6" (leaving out the time)

I appreciate all the help. This forum is awesome with awesome people.

hey, try this.

index=your_base_search | rex field="UserID Expiration Date" "(?P<Date>[^\s]+)"

This will create Date field which will have the values which you want!

Let me know if this helps you!

Try like this

your current search with field "UserID Expiration Date"
| eval "UserID Expiration Date"=strftime(strptime('UserID Expiration Date',"%m/%d/%Y %H:%M"),"%Y-%m-%d")

OR

your current search with field "UserID Expiration Date"
| eval "UserID Expiration Date"=replace('UserID Expiration Date',"^(\d+)\/(\d+\/(\d+)(.+)","\3-\1-\2")

Run anywhere search that shows what you want:

| makeresults | eval expiration_original="12/6/2019 21:01" | eval expiration_new=strftime(strptime(expiration_original, "%m/%d/%Y %H:%M"), "%Y-%m-%d")
