Hi,

I'm currently indexing my WHMCS logs using DB Connect. I need know how to change existing indexed time (EPOCH) and from now on the time needs indexing in a human readable format. Please can somebody help me.

id=477 date=1394496040.000 description="VCards Updated" user=System userid=0 ipaddr=


id=476 date=1394496038.000 description="Admin Email Notification Sending Failed - PHPMailer Exception - SMTP connect() failed. (Subject: WHMCS Cron Job Activity)" user=System userid=0 ipaddr=

Hi,

Epoch time is a good thing on the output, see the docs for more information. That said, you can use the convert command to switch to human readable in your searches and reports.
