Hello everyone
here i am trying to convert epoch time into human readable format
where it is parsing good but indicating wrong point of time in target field
i didn't get any error also
here is my code:
```auto
input {
exec {
command => "aws configservice describe-config-rule-evaluation-status"
interval => 600
codec => "json"
}
}
filter {
split {
field => "ConfigRulesEvaluationStatus"
}
mutate {
convert => { "[ConfigRulesEvaluationStatus][LastSuccessfulEvaluationTime]" => "float" }
}
date {
match => ["[ConfigRulesEvaluationStatus][LastSuccessfulEvaluationTime]","UNIX_MS","ISO8601" ]
#timezone => "Asia/Kolkata"
target => "myTime"
}
}
output {
elasticsearch {
hosts => ["http://192.168.1.23:9200"]
user => "elastic"
password => "access"
index => "awsconfigrules_b"
}
stdout {codec => rubydebug }
}
```
My input looks like this:
```auto
LastSuccessfulEvaluationTime" => 1493565192.002
```
my output looks like this:
```auto
"myTime" => 1970-01-18T06:56:25.879Z,
```
Thank you

1493565192.002 is the number of _seconds_ since the epoch, so you should use UNIX, not UNIX\_MS.
