ServerTime shows in AM/PM format and DeviceSyncTime shows in 24 hour format. How do I change the ServerTime field value to the 24 hour format?

Note I don't want to have _time anywhere..

Hi there chandra, try with this.

| eval time24hs=strftime(ServerTime, "%H:%M:%S")

Hope it helps.

Where are you extracting ServerTime field and what is the format of the value (sample logs will be helpful)?

Below id raw data

[10A8:0564-151C] 03/01/2016 09:58:22 PM Traveler: The last successful device sync was on Tue Mar 01 21:58:21 EST 2016.

I am picking 09:58 as ServerTime abd 21:58 as DeviceSyncTime

Now like to ServerTime to converted into 24hours format

Use _time instead ServerTime, like this.

| eval time24hs=strftime(_time, "%H:%M:%S")
