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.

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.
