Hi guys,
I'm trying to search within events on a specific day using a timestamp that is not _time and I also want to use the time picker values.
index=base search... | eval _time=strptime(NEWTIMESTAMP,"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ") | timechart count | where strptime(NEWTIMESTAMP,"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ") < $latest$
You can see I'm changing the NEWTIMESTAMP
to _time
so I can use it in the timechart. The problem is it is not applying the time set in the picker and it's just displaying all the results.
At what stage is the timepicker applied to the pipe?
How to I reference the timepicker?
You can use the addinfo command to get the earliest epoch time info_min_time and latest epoch time info_max_time for that search. If NEWTIMESTAMP is epoch ...
index=base search... | timechart count | where ((NEWTIMESTAMP < info_max_time) AND (NEWTIMESTAMP > info_min_time))
Otherwise you can first use convert or eval to translate NEWTIMESTAMP to epoch. Bonus: eval & where share same functions, so you can actually do the conversion from within the comparison.

Hello,
I am struggling with the same question. I am trying to use a timestamp that is NOT _time. My time stamp is Transaction_Date. I am facing the same issue. When I click the small magnifying glass near the timepicker in the seach command, I am getting all results , which means it picking _time and Not Transaction date. I tried all the below commands and still not working. can you please help.
index=base search... | where ((NEWTIMESTAMP < info_max_time) AND (NEWTIMESTAMP > info_min_time))
index=base search | addinfo | eval NEWTS1=strptime(Transaction_Date,"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%N") | where ((NEWTS1 < info_max_time) AND (NEWTS1 > info_min_time))
I just want the magnifying glass to pick Transaction_Date timestamp.
Thanks buddy,
Got it working with this:
index=base search | addinfo | eval NEWTS1=strptime(NEWTIMESTAMP,"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ") | where ((NEWTS1 < info_max_time) AND (NEWTS1 > info_min_time))
