what is the best way to convert the uptime from apache in
x days, x hours, x minutes, x seconds?
if the uptime is only 600 seconds then it should only say
10 minutes
anyone have any suggestions?
Go to Management -> Index pattern. Select the number field that contains the uptime and set it's format to Duration, Human Readable. I think the input is in seconds by default so you can set it to "Seconds" on the Input format.
