| mstats max(System.System_Up_Time) AS "Uptime" WHERE index="permon_metrics" host=system1* BY host span=1m
| dedup host | rex field=host "\w{6}(?<function_abbr>\w{4})"

Hi @jaibalaraman 

You have a field "Uptime" and then using the eval you are calculating the same field. 
Could you pls suggest us with more details, thanks. 

| mstats max(System.System_Up_Time) AS "Uptime" WHERE index="permon_metrics" host=system1* BY host span=1m
| dedup host | rex field=host "\w{6}(?<function_abbr>\w{4})"
| search function_abbr=ADDS
| sort Uptime asc
| eval UptimeNew = round((now() - _time) / (60 * 60), 1) 
| table Uptime UptimeNew function_abbr host

 

thanks and best regards,
Sekar
