Hi Team,

I am having field called expirationdatetime in my event and its format is 2019-06-21T06:08:40.220082Z. My requirement is to get the count of users whose request going to expire in next 2 days.

Built a search - index="XXX" sourcetype="RRR" expirationdatetime=now+2d

When i hit the above expression, i didnt get any events.

Help on this

Hi @bhuvanabala,

This should do the trick :

index="XXX" sourcetype="RRR" 
|eval expirationdatetime=strptime(expirationdatetime,"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%Q") 
|where expirationdatetime < relative_time(now(), "-+2d")

Let me know if it helps.

Cheers,
David
