Tried using below search, but can't get result. I get null values in diff:
XXX| eval indextime=strftime(_indextime,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S") |eval capturetime=strftime(_time,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S") | eval diff= tostring(indextime - capturetime) | table indextime capturetime diff
Am I missing something?

Just do the diff calculation on the actual epoch value, before your strftime evals.
XXX| eval diff= _indextime - _time | eval indextime=strftime(_indextime,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S") |eval capturetime=strftime(_time,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S") | | table indextime capturetime diff

The diff field is in seconds.
The _indextime and _time fields are in unix epoch time format, the number of seconds since January 1970. When you subtract one from the other the result is a value expressed in seconds

No problem mate. If that's working for you do you mind accepting the answer?
Cheers
