Hi Team,

I'm currently receiving AWS CloudWatch logs in Splunk using the add-on. I'm developing a use case and need to utilize the "event Time" field from the logs. I require assistance in converting the event Time from UTC to SGT.

Sample event Time is in UTC +0

End result:  UTC + 0 to SGT + 8 time.

Expected output format is "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"

Sorry,

but SGT+8 corresponds to UTC.

If you want to chenge the time format from the displayed to  "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S" you should use eval with the time functions:

| eval Time=strftime(_time,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")

Ciao.

Will this change the timezone in the output to SGT? 

We want the output to be shifted to SGT and then formatted to "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"
