I've been told that the initial question has not been retroactively edited in any way which begs the question of what happened? I understand comments from a comment chain were likely converted to answers without the correct context, but still. eval utctime relativetime (epochtime,strftime (epochtime,'z').'h') as it will convert offset to a 4 digit TZ offset (in my case +1100) and append h, so will do a relativetime addition of 1100 hours to my time, whereas it should be +11h. They are most likely looking for "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S" which is mentioned nowhere, or possibly "%F %T" as mentioned in the comments. Note that this statement in this solution is wrong. Splunk, Splunk>, Turn Data Into Doing, Data-to-Everything, and D2E. Use the first 10 digits of a UNIX time to use the time in seconds. This means that for any date or time-related calculations we want to perform in our searches, we can run the strftime function against the time field in our data. Anyway, it's not uncommon for a whole splunk deployment to have everything including search heads, living in the UTC timezone. Sometimes you'll also come across the idea that 'epochtime is in UTC' which is nonsensical cause an epochtime is just a number of seconds. Splunk uses UNIX time for the contents of the time field in events. UTC is a timezone, basically GMT with no daylight saving time ever. Splunk parses modificationtime as time but, in doing so, it applies the system-default timestamp format, in our case the British one (dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss.ms). 99% of people who find this page are merely looking to convert epoch time to the default Splunk human-readable format, in which case what they are looking for is barely on this page. Taking the information from your last comment (LastModifiedDate being SQL DateTime format). This function takes a UNIX time value as the first argument and renders the time as a string using the format specified. Strftime is a Splunk search function that converts a UNIX time value to a human readable format. Our data input contains two timestamp fields creationtime and modificationtime both formatted in line with ISO 8601 (yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss.ms). A millisecond epoch time is providedĢ) The answer with 16 votes (?) fails to divide by 1000 OR provide the correct formatģ) The answer with 3 votes (?) fails to provide the correct comment of "%a,%d %b %Y %H:%M:%S"is correct, although technically you need to divide by 1000 if you are to use the millisecond epoch time that the post provides. Considering converting from epoch is one of the most common Splunk questions of all time, considering this page has 46k views, and considering that each and every answer is entirely incorrect (and the actual question itself is misleading) this page is desperately in need of removal.ġ) The question doesn't actually provide a standard epoch time.
