How to convert epoch timestamp to readable date format?

Hi,

I am browsing information on one of our ticketing server databases, however, when I try to show table contents, it shows a weird format of date like the one below. Can anyone help how I can fix this? Thanks!

SystemLogID: 1713

CreatedDate: 1405343596.040

UserID: XX

Actions: XX

IsActive: XX

TicketID: XXXX

That's an epoch timestamp, seconds.milliseconds since 1970. You can convert that to a readable format by appending this to your search:

... | fieldformat CreatedDate = strftime(CreatedDate, "%F %T.%3N")

My Epoch timestamp was something like this

StartTime=1449559286189
EndTime=1449577678580

So dividing it by 1000 did the trick

eval StartTime=StartTime/1000, EndTime=EndTime/1000 | fieldformat StartTime=strftime(StartTime, "%F %T.%3N") | fieldformat EndTime=strftime(EndTime, "%F %T.%3N")

Or you can create a macro as well.
