Hi

I didn't found formatter where day was without leading space so if this is really what you are wanting, you could try this.

 

| makeresults
| eval time1 = "December 7, 2021 1:00:01 PM"
| eval time2 = strptime(time1, "%B %e, %Y %I:%M:%S %p")
| eval time3 = strftime(time2, "%m/%e/%Y %H:%M:%S")
| rex field=time3 mode=sed "s,/\s(\d+)/,/\1/,g"
| table time1 time3

 

If you can accept leading zero then just change later %e -> %d and forget rex.
