Hi ,

There is a requirement to change the time format from "04/04/14 13:11:37" to "Mon April 04 2014 13:11:37" .I tried the search query

index=fxr SNM* ASRRLUI | rex "^\S+\s(?<unique_field>\S+.\S+) ::"|transaction unique_field startswith="User logged off" endswith="Processing complete"| rex field=_raw "::\s(?<success_t>\S+\s\d+:\d+:\d+) :: User logged off"|eval Output_Timestamp=strptime(success_t,"%y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S")|eval Timestamp=strftime(Output_Timestamp,"%a %B %e %T %Y")|table success_t Output_Timestamp Timestamp unique_field

When the above search query is ran,the result is not getting displayed for some events.The #1 logs displays the timestamp whereas #2 doesnt displays the Timestamp.

The sample logs are as follows

1)
SNM4 ASRRLUI.43U :: 04/04/14 18:18:44 :: Processing complete
SNM4 ASRRLUI.43U :: 04/04/14 18:18:44 :: .

SNM4 ASRRLUI.43U :: 04/04/14 18:18:41 :: All received data will be processed as SAF for BTWA3FLR

Hi Jananee_iNautix,

take a closer look at this eval you're using:

eval Output_Timestamp=strptime(success_t,"%y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S")

you want to have month at second place in success_t value, but look at the second example you provided:

SNM4 BTWA3SLR.665F :: 05/14/14 18:24:24 :: User logged off, Processing will begin
SNM4 BTWA3SLR.665F :: 05/14/14 18:24:24 ::  .
SNM4 BTWA3SLR.665F :: 05/14/14 18:24:24 ::  .
SNM4 BTWA3SLR.665F :: 05/14/14 18:24:24 ::  .
SNM4 BTWA3SLR.665F :: 05/14/14 18:24:28 :: Processing complete

what could be the 14th month of the year?
So, this is not the month but something different.

hope this helps ...

cheers, MuS
