After upgrade to 6.6.1, one of my searches is not working as expected?

Hi All, I have used the below query to capture the splunk service status (Up or Down) via splunkd.log. After an upgrade to latest version this query is not working as expected, though we are getting the status update but the date_time field is left blank. In older version 6.2.1 we use to get the data in the date_time field. The date_time filed used to display data containing the earliest / latest time stamp of splunk service status, currently we are not getting it. Kindly let me know whether we need to modify the below query to fetch the date_time data.

index=_internal host=hp* OR host=vm* sourcetype=splunkd source="/opt/splunk/var/log/splunk/splunkd.log" "loader - Splunkd starting" OR "INFO  ShutdownHandler - Shutting down splunkd" | eval message=if((message="Shutting down splunkd"),"failure","success") | rename message as status |eval Date_Time= readabledate + " " + readabletime | sort host | table host Date_Time status

thanks in advance.

You can get it from _time.

|eval Date_Time= readabledate + " " + readabletime

|eval Date_Time=strftime(_time,"%Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S")

thanks Hiroshisatoh its working now, but what is the difference between the two command "readabledate + " " + readabletime" and strftime /_time.
