Hi @hank72,

to convert a date, you have to transform it in epochtime (using strptime) and then again the output format (using strftime) in an eval command, something like this:

| eval lastLogonTimestamp=strftime(strptime(lastLogonTimestamp,"%H:%M.%S %p, %a %m/%d/%Y"),"%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S")

 for more infos see at

Hi @hank72,

sorry, my error:

| eval lastLogonTimestamp=strftime(strptime(lastLogonTimestamp,"%I:%M.%S %p, %a %m/%d/%Y"),"%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S")

Ciao.
