Hi All,

i want to add time in search string.

My data is showing time 26-02-2018T02:00:00.000+0000, but while searching i want to add 11 hour , means it should create filter for time 27-02-2018T13:00:00.000+0000.

Also after this i also want to apply substring on time to just show dates.

i am using below one, but its not working.

index=XXXXXX source="XXXXXX" |eval host=add(Date,+11) | eval hostgroup=substr(Date,1,10) | stats count(Date) by hostgroup

Please help.

Try this:

index=XXXXXX source="XXXXXX" |eval date=strptime(CDate, "%d-%m-%Y %H:%M:%S.%3N%z") | eval date1=date+39600 | eval hostgroup =strftime(date1, "%d-%m-%Y") | stats count(CDate) by hostgroup

I have too many date fields, out of which i want to create filter for one of the date field. i am not sure if _time will help here.

Below is the date field on which i need to execute the query.
CDate: 2018-02-27T03:55:28.000+0000

Hi @p_gaurav

We are getting output 0 though we have non-zero value.
