Hi,

I need to convert the EPOCH Time using Oracle Query,by using DB Query i have figured out using the below query it can be done

|dbquery DB_NAME limit=10 "Select * from Table_NM" |fieldformat NEW_CREATED_DT=strftime(CREATED_DT,"%d-%m-%y %H:%M:%S")

But i want the query that can be used in Oracle.

Any Help is Appreciated,

Thanks.

I found the answer myself just to_char(date_attribute,'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')date_attribute will work no need of trying to convert it by multiplying & dividing the current time with 1970.

if it is the summary index you can use as it is in a savedsearch. If you are trying to use dbmon then the sql query will index and while tabulating or creating dashboard you have to do the time conversion again.

oracle is not doing the time conversion its splunk which is converting the date field. you need to do the above to get the human readable format.
