Hi

How to get the start time and end time of the user from AD logs,

The result which I need is

user   "logon time"   "logofftime"  duration date
....

....

The search I tried but, it's not working as expected

index=wineventlog sourcetype="WinEventLog:Security" | eval time=_time     | stats values(min(time)) as "Logon Time", values(max(time)) as "Logoff Time" by user   | convert  timeformat="%m/%d/%y %H:%M:%S" ctime(*)

If u r spanning Per day wise use min(_time) for first time ad authentication and max(_time) for recent/last time authenticated time.

Hi Kiran,

I think you should use the earliest and latest commands instead of min and max.
Please try this search:

index=wineventlog sourcetype="WinEventLog:Security" | stats earliest(_time) as logon, latest(_time) as logoff by clientip | eval duration=tostring(logoff-logon,"duration") | eval logon = strftime(logon,"%D %T") | eval logoff = strftime(logoff,"%D %T")

Hope this helps. Thanks!
Hunter
