Calculate duration between end of search time range and _time of record

Path Finder

Hello,

I would like to be able to calculate the time difference between the last time parameter of the time range of the search and the _time value of the record.

If the query is run from the current time, I would do something like this:

eval runtime_raw=(now()-_time)

But if the search time range end time is not now(), I want to replace now() in the above expression with something representing the end of the search time range. Does such a function exist? Or is there a way to calculate this?

Thanks for your help,

Richard

You need to use addinfo command like this

your base search 
| addinfo 
| eval runtime_latest=info_max_time-_time | fields - info_*
