Hi, @jcvytla-

Check out the "convert" command. The syntax for your case would look something like

convert timeformat=%m/%d/%Y %H:%M mktime(existing_time_field) AS epoch_time

but double check the time format if it doesn't seem to be working for you - the lack of leading zeroes in your timestamp might mean that you have to tweak that.

for timechart youll need to convert your time to the field _time
same thing, and now you can | timechart ... as foo | predict foo
