Is it possible to change the date format when running search?

[sbeamro]

Hi,
when I run any search the date format is MM/DD/YEAR.
how can I change the format to appear as DD/MM/YEAR ?

Hi sbeamro,

Either change the URI from en-US to en-GB or use the convert command to do this on selected fields http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.2.1/SearchReference/Convert

hope this helps ...

cheers, MuS

thanks for the information !
is it possible to change it on the server level ? or only per search ?

[MuS]

You can change this on server level take a look here http://answers.splunk.com/answers/177614/how-to-make-en-gb-default-in-url.html

[sbeamro]

the only solution that works was to change in the address bar to be -
http://splunk:8000/en-GB/
non of the other answers make splunk to go by default to the en-GB format.

Just found this one here https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/quick-language-switcher/pmjbhfmaphnpbehdanbjphdcniaelfie which is working very nicely ....

[sbeamro]

nice !
should I mark this question as answered ?
it seems that there is no server's side solution for it.
