web event start time, splunk record time and endtime in http stream data

Given free sample http stream data download from splunk website. I got two questions with start time, record time and endtime.

(1). is "_time" the recorded time by splunk index?  how to output as "H:MM:SS" format. and "HH:MM:SS" format respectfully?  example, 18:27.36.257, HH:MM:SS will be 18:27:36, H:MM:SS will be 6:27:36

(2), say, user enter hacker.com/a.js in chrome at 18:27:36, at 18:27:50, a.js start loading,  18:28:59, a.js finished execution, would splunk index capture start time, record time, endtime? what are the fields? thanks

Please post the URL for the sample data you are referring to.

(1) Essentially _time should represent the time included within the raw audit event (when it can be determined):
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.4.0/Data/HowSplunkextractstimestamps

You can convert _time as "H:MM:SS" format:
index=* | eval t=strftime(_time, "%I:%M:%S") | table _time, t

You can convert _time as "HH:MM:SS" format:
index=* | eval t=strftime(_time, "%H:%M:%S") | table _time, t

https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.0.6/SearchReference/Commontimeformatvariables

Leave off the trailing pipe into table once you have confirmed that is what you wanted.
