How to convert feb 1 01:03:20 2018 to epoch time?

[priyanka0309]

I am pulling data from DB connect to splunk. The DB has time value
feb 1 01:03:20 2018. I should convert this field to epoch time.

I am using the command eval reporteddate = strptime(LAST_UPDATE, "%m %d %Hh:%Mm:%Ss %Y") . Please let me know how to proceed with this

Try eval reporteddate = strptime(LAST_UPDATE, "%b %d %H:%M:%S %Y"). See this splunk documentation for time format variables that can be used.
