Splunk table get values smaller than 4 months

Hello,

I have the below query which works fine:

{My search}
| rename user_id as User
| stats max(asctime) as "Last login time (UTC)" by User
| table User "Last login time (UTC)"

Now from the table result, I want to get only the raws where "Last login time (UTC)" is 4 months ago or older.

Many thanks for your help!

Aha! I found it. It worked this way:

 | where strptime(maxasctime,"%Y-%m-%d") < relative_time(now(), "-4mon")

Many thanks for your help!

Good job @anouar_jben
I have a few question.
your timezone is UTC?
now() is local time.
but it will be okay because it is on a monthly basis.

Well seen @to4kawa ! you are right, I should convert both variables to the same timezone to have more accurate results. I will work on it.
Thanks and regards

Try this. If the 'asctime' field is text rather than epoch time then it won't work, but then again, your current query won't work, either.

{My search}
| rename user_id as User
| stats max(asctime) as maxasctime by User
| where maxasctime < relative_time(now(), "-4mon")
| rename maxasctime as "Last login time (UTC)"
| table User "Last login time (UTC)"

Hello,

asctime has the following format:

asctime:     2020-03-04 13:33:29,020    

Could you please advise what should I change in this case?

Thanks again and regards,
