The following search uses the pow function to convert from nanoseconds to seconds: To convert from nanoseconds to seconds, divide the number by 10^9.To convert from microseconds to seconds, divide the number by 10^6.To convert from milliseconds to seconds, divide the number by 1000 or 10^3.You can use the pow function to convert the number. If the time is in milliseconds, microseconds, or nanoseconds you must convert the time into seconds. Use the first 10 digits of a UNIX time to use the time in seconds. This function takes a UNIX time value, X, as the first argument and renders the time as a string using the format specified by Y. | eval n=relative_time(now(), strftime(X,Y) Description This function takes a UNIX time, X, as the first argument and a relative time specifier, Y, as the second argument and returns the UNIX time value of Y applied to X. | chart count by _time relative_time(X,Y) Description | where (eventHour=curHour and eventMin > curMin - 30) or The event timestamp, in the _time field, is used to calculate the event hour (eventHour) and event minute (eventMin). You use the now() function to calculate the current hour (curHour) and current minute (curMin). If you are looking for events that occurred within the last 30 minutes you need to calculate the event hour, event minute, the current hour, and the current minute. | eval n=relative_time(now(), Extended example The following example determines the UNIX time value of the start of yesterday, based on the value of now(). You can use this function with the eval, fieldformat, and where commands, and as part of eval expressions. If you want to return the UNIX time when each result is returned, use the time() function instead.

When used in a search, this function returns the UNIX time when the search is run. The time returned by the now() function is represented in UNIX time, or in seconds since Epoch time. The now() function is often used with other data and time functions. This function takes no arguments and returns the time that the search was started. In addition to the functions listed in this topic, there are also variables and modifiers that you can use in searches.

The following list contains the functions that you can use to calculate dates and time.ДЇor information about using string and numeric fields in functions, and nesting functions, see Evaluation functions.
