Hi,

I have a table with duration in seconds, how can I convert it to [h]:mm:ss? I want it to count the number of hours even if it is more than 1 day. Thanks!

Here is my query.

| dedup IDEVENT
| where _time>relative_time(now(),"-4w@w")
| bin _time span=1w
| stats sum(DURATION) as eventduration by DESCRIPTION _time

Hi

Can you please try | eval time=strftime(_time, "%H:%M:%S") or you can try | eval time=tostring(_time,"duration")

So your query will be

 | dedup IDEVENT
 | where _time>relative_time(now(),"-4w@w")
 | bin _time span=1w
 | stats sum(DURATION) as eventduration by DESCRIPTION _time
 | eval time=strftime(_time, "%H:%M:%S")

and with second approach

 | dedup IDEVENT
 | where _time>relative_time(now(),"-4w@w")
 | bin _time span=1w
 | stats sum(DURATION) as eventduration by DESCRIPTION _time
 | eval time=tostring(_time,"duration")

Hi Auaave,

You can use strftime function using eval. For eg.
eval eventduration=strftime(eventduration,"%H:%M:%S")
