Convert Millseconds to Epoch Time

Hi, I wonder whether someone could help me please.

I'm extracting a time stamp in the format 2015-01-31T23:59:55.281Z which I'm trying to convert to an epoch time.

I'm using this line to do this: eval generatedAt=strptime(LoggedInTime, "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S")|convert timeformat="%d/%b/%Y %H:%M:%S" ctime(LoggedInTime)

The problem I have is that this isn't converting the milliseconds replacing the actual milliseconds with zeroes.

Could someone possibly look at this please and let me know where I've gone wrong.

Many thanks and kind regards

Chris

Hi IRHM73,

add a .%3N to the time string, see the docs http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.3.0/SearchReference/Commontimeformatvariables the learn more about time format options.

cheers, MuS
