Say suppose, I have a inputlookup which has start_date, end_date, start_time and end_time. This is my scheduled maintenance time. I want to include this in my main query to remove this time from this main query. How do I do that?
Use the following:
| inputlookup yourlookup
| eval earliest=strptime(End_Date + " " + End_Time,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"), latest=strptime(Start_Date + " " + Start_Time,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
| return earliest, latest
That will give you the earliest and latest fields, and so you can pass them to your main query, like this:
Main query example
index=_internal [
| inputlookup yourlookup
| eval earliest=strptime(End_Date + " " + End_Time,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"), latest=strptime(Start_Date + " " + Start_Time,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
| return earliest, latest
]
Use the following:
| inputlookup yourlookup
| eval earliest=strptime(End_Date + " " + End_Time,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"), latest=strptime(Start_Date + " " + Start_Time,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
| return earliest, latest
That will give you the earliest and latest fields, and so you can pass them to your main query, like this:
Main query example
index=_internal [
| inputlookup yourlookup
| eval earliest=strptime(End_Date + " " + End_Time,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"), latest=strptime(Start_Date + " " + Start_Time,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
| return earliest, latest
]

Is it possible to provide sample data for csv?
I already have data in that lookup.
Say example:
Name End Date End Time Start Date Start Time
