Charting last seen date

Looking to chart when a host/device was last seen.

Host date
server A 3/25/2012
server B 3/24/2012
server C 3/28/2012

Something like that. Date format doesn't have to be that way.

Use eval instead of fieldformat.

Okay but when I got od odo a fieldformat such as
| dedup host | fieldformat Stime = strftime(_time,"%m/%d/%Y") | table Stime

I get no output.
