Hello,

We have a field called "Certificate Expiration Date" and trying to only show items that expire 90 days or less. Have tried fieldformat with no luck.

Suggestions?

Greetings @jordanking1992,

Here's a run-anywhere example:

           | makeresults | eval CertificateExpirationDate =  "9/24/2018 10:00 PM" 
| append [ | makeresults | eval CertificateExpirationDate =  "9/24/2019 10:00 PM" ]
| append [ | makeresults | eval CertificateExpirationDate = "12/20/2019 10:00 PM" ]
| append [ | makeresults | eval CertificateExpirationDate =  "1/10/2020 10:00 PM" ]
| append [ | makeresults | eval CertificateExpirationDate =  "9/24/2020 10:00 PM" ]
| eval  CertificateExpirationDate_epoch = strptime(CertificateExpirationDate, "%m/%d/%Y %I:%M %p")
| where CertificateExpirationDate_epoch < (now() + 90*86400) AND CertificateExpirationDate_epoch > now()
| fields - CertificateExpirationDate_epoch

For your data, it will look more like this:

[your base search]
| eval  CertificateExpirationDate_epoch = strptime('Certificate Expiration Date', "%m/%d/%Y %I:%M %p")
| where CertificateExpirationDate_epoch < (now() + 90*86400)
| fields - CertificateExpirationDate_epoch

If you only want values in the future, add another check for after now()

| where CertificateExpirationDate_epoch < (now() + 90*86400) AND CertificateExpirationDate_epoch > now()
Cheers,
Jacob
