date and time in app header

[vikas_gopal]

Hello Everyone,

Please suggest how to show current date and time in a text box in app header or if we can show it in a label even that is fine .I want to place it at the right hand side of app bar so that it is visible to the user.

I achieved this with Label .I used javascript with simple xml and for customization I used CSS.

The most out-of-the-box way would be to create a panel with single value visualization for this search:

| stats c as _time | eval _time = now()

There are loads of other ways though.

In case you want a self-updating timer you can get that out of the box like so:

sourcetype=nonexistant | stats c as _time | eval _time = time()

It'd be much more efficient to write a small piece of javascript for this though, running a realtime search for this feels a bit wasteful despite never matching anything.
