How to Convert Epoch Time?

I'm running the below query to find out when was the last time an index checked in. However, in using this query the output reflects a time format that is in EPOC format. I'd like to convert it to a standard month/day/year format. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

| tstats latest(_time) WHERE index=* BY index

There are several ways to do that.

Start with | tstats latest(_time) as time WHERE index=* BY index then add your choice of

| eval time = strftime(time, "%c")

| convert ctime(time)

| fieldformat time = strftime(time, "%c")

see https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/SearchReference/Commontimeformatvariables

month/day/year format is %x

but

| tstats latest(_time) as _time WHERE index=* BY index

This is enough.

This works for me: | eval time = strftime(time, "%c")

Using the following worked:

| tstats latest(_time) as time WHERE index=* BY index
| eval time=strftime(time, "%c")
