Hello,

I am polling snmp using Elastic's SNMP input. I am retrieving two values

sysUptimeInstance : 2,029,071,549  
ifLastChange: 2,026,800,920

These are time tick values or centiseconds (1/100th of a second).

I want to visualize these fields as duration or if possible a timestamp.  
Any ideas how to do this with Lens/Visualizations?

Thanks,  
Erik

I figured it out:  
Just divide by 100 then change the value format to Duration  
You can then choose Duration : Seconds to Friendly Proximate

It should work!
