How can I only show rows from next 6 months based on the datestamp?

[rkassabov]

I am trying to only show records that have "md_createdAt" fields that occur in the next 6 months, looking forward from that day's date. How would I only show these records?

|`init("xxx")`
| eval month=strftime(strptime(md_createdAt,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%6N"),"%b")
| table info_subType md_createdAt month
| chart count(info_subType) over month by md_createdAt

Just add following before |eval month.. line:

| where strptime(md_createdAt,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%6N")>now() AND strptime(md_createdAt,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%6N")<=relative_time(now(), "+6mon")

That worked, thank you!

md_createdAt should be 6 month in future from today's date?
