Different timestamp format output between manual running a search and a scheduled search

Hi,

I have an issue with running an exactly the same search. he difference is that I first run the search based on YearToDate period (to get some historic infor) and later schedule the same search based on Yesterday period and to append that result to the CSV file. Why does it suddenly use a different time format?

DeBaenst2,"2018-04-23T00:00:00.000+0200",2,21,8615,8594
DeBaenst2,"2018-04-24T00:00:00.000+0200",1,19,8634,8615
DeBaenst2,"2018-04-25T00:00:00.000+0200",1,19,8653,8634
DeBaenst2,"2018-04-26T00:00:00.000+0200",2,21,8674,8653
DeBaenst2,"2018-04-27T00:00:00.000+0200",1,16,8690,8674
DeBaenst2,"2018-04-28T00:00:00.000+0200",2,14,8704,8690
DeBaenst2,1524952800,,"0.5",8705,8704

Does anyone have a suggestion?

Hi TISKAR,

I have checked it this morning and it looks OK. Although I do not understand why the different outcome. Also zero values are represented as an empty field. (but that was another post) - Many thanks,

Can you try this please:

<your_base_search> | eval _time=strftime(_time,"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%3Q")

See below:

index=XXX AND MachineID=YYY AND (Tag="Application.MM_PD.scMachineControl_RBS.iCntHourRuntime")

| dedup _time | timechart span=1d@d max(Value) as maxhours min(Value) as minhours

| eval daily_hrs=(maxhours-minhours)/2
| appendcols [search index=XXX AND MachineID=YYY AND Tag=sText AND Value="*error" | dedup _time

| timechart span=4h dc(Value) as err_4h

| timechart span=1d@d sum(err_4h) as err_day ]
| eval MachineID="DeBaenst2" | table MachineID _time err_day daily_hrs maxhours minhours
