Try this:

| eval t=strptime(SystemTime, "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%9Q") | eval t1=strftime(t, "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M")

Don't forget the "%Z" in the strptime format string to pick up the time zone. Also, use "%y" for two-digit year.

You can also combine these commands into a single eval: | eval SystemTime=strftime(strptime(SystemTime, "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%9Q%Z"), "%y-%m-%d %H:%M")

Use xpath or rex to extract the field. The formatting is the same.

A copy-and-paste sample of the log is easier to work with than an image.

Try this rex command to extract the time field:

`... | rex "SystemTime='(?<SystemTime>[^']+)" | ...`
