Learn about the Minute, Hour, Day, Month, Year OTTL converter function.

  less than a minute  

The Minute, Hour, Day, Month and Year converters each extract an int64 value from a time.Time type timestamp. These are different to the converters such as Hours, Microseconds, Milliseconds, Minutes, Nanoseconds and Seconds, which return a value from a time.Duration type.

Syntax: Minute|Hour|Day|Month|Year(value)

  • value is a date in the time.Time format. Other formats cause it to fail.

Note: the timestamp field in Edge Delta is a UnixMilli int64 format, not time.Time. See Manage Log Timestamps for timestamp handling and the Parse Timestamp Processor for parsing various timestamp formats.
