Getting Data In

Time format in email alert

AllenZhang
Explorer

Search AAA||rename _time as UpTime |fieldformat UpTime=strftime(UpTime, "%D %H:%M:%S") |Table UpTime Info

It works well in browser. like:

10/23/15 08:06:49 Info1
10/23/15 10:02:20 Info2

However, when I set it as a scheduled alert, in the email I received,

1445602009 Info1
1445608940 Info2

How to fix this?

Thanks
Allen

First, open a support ticket for this because it is surely a bug. Second, switch fieldformat to eval and see if that works around it.
