Hi,

can somebody explain, why I dont get any results?

index=... 
| eval Timestamp=strftime(_time,"%d-%m-%Y %H:%M:%S")
| eval CurrentTime=strftime(now(),"%d-%m-%Y %H:%M:%S")
| eval NotUsedFor=(CurrentTime-Timestamp)
| chart max(NotUsedFor) by host

I want a chart that shows the difference of the CurrentTime and the Timestamp

Hi @schufi01,

You must make calculation before formatting the timestamps;

index=... 
| eval NotUsedFor=(now()-_time)
| chart max(NotUsedFor) by host
