Search within sub-time range

I am trying to collect stats from login events from evening hours. I would like to run reports for any time range (last 60m, 7d, etc.) but only view results that show logons between the hours of 5pm and 7am.

You can add the following search criteria:

((date_hour > 17) OR (date_hour < 7))

And that should get you where you want to be. Personally, I use:

((date_wday="saturday" OR date_wday="sunday") OR (date_hour < 7 OR date_hour > 17))

You can then toss that in macros.conf like so:

[OffHours]
definition = ((date_wday="saturday" OR date_wday="sunday") OR (date_hour < 7 OR date_hour > 17))
iseval = 0

so you can just add in

`OffHours`

to your searches and have it automatically included.
