current hour

Hello,

I want to have the hour of the current time but I don't able to have it because now() returns all the current date but just want to have the current hour.

this is my search :

source="tcp:5543" |eval date_hour=strftime(_time, "%H") | rangemap field=count severe=0-0 elevated=1-50 default=low | eval range=if(date_hour>9 AND date_hour<14 AND count<11, "low",if(date_hour > 13 AND date_hour < 24 AND count > 11, "severe", range))

I want to run this search only on the current hour. I test it with "earliest" and "latest" but it retunrs 2 hours if it is 14:30 for example.

Thanks by advance to your help.

Laura
