Hi srinathd,

based on your provided example try this run everywhere command:

index=_internal | head 1 | eval foo="20090930" | eval boo=strptime(foo, "%Y%m%d") | table foo, boo

where boo will be the epoch time. You can verify it by running this search:

index=_internal | head 1 | eval foo="20090930" | eval boo=strptime(foo, "%Y%m%d") | convert ctime(boo) AS newTime | table foo, boo, newTime

hope this helps ...

cheers, MuS
