How to create a beautified time difference?

danielbb

We have the following code:

| stats count min(_time) as min, max(_time) as max by src, ....
| eval delta = (max - min)/(60*60*24)

How can we present this delta field as, let's say - 3 days, 2 hours, 16 minutes ?... or any other human readable way.

this answer is wrong. you are trying to strftime from milliseconds. although the result will show readable format, the values are invalid.
