Can I use the bucket command to group fields by time/date when extracted against a field other than _time?
I have a field called pub date in this format; 2017-10-04 09:00:27
and was hoping the following would group the events into buckets of 6 hours;
index=* | bucket pubdate span=6h | stats count by pub date
Dosent seem to work, just lists all the individual events.
Thats is possible, but you need to convert pubdate from string to time field like below.
| eval pubdate_time=strptime(pubdate, "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S") | bin span=6h pubdate_time

that makes sense. thanks.
