Striftime Error or Settings questions

For some reason when I have Time as below, and use (| eval SortingTime=strftime(SortingTime, " %H:%M:%S") I always get exactly 1more hour to what I should get.

alt text

So if I use | eval SortingTime=strftime(SortingTime, " %H:%M:%S") , I would get 01:23:39 instead of 00:23:39 and same goes for everytime I try to use strftime, I always get an extra hour

I have 2 accounts. one account seems to get the right strftime but the other one always adds an extra hour to strftime. Is there something wrong with my settings???

Do you have timezone specified for account in which you are getting +1 hour ?

Or try below query

<yourBaseSearch>
| eval SortingTime=tostring(SortingTime, "duration")

yes I have timezone specified for both account but they are specified to the same timezone. I don't know why one would give me +1 hour while the other won't. Is there anyway I can fix this?

If you would like to convert 1419.000000 into Duration then you need to use | eval SortingTime=tostring(SortingTime, "duration")
