Can you help me, I'm making a request using HTTP however due to the API limitation I need to insert a date and this date needs to vary.  
I need the date to always be updated to the current date minus 1 hour.

url =\> "[https://teste/teste/events?modifyDate=2000-12-12T12:00:00.123Z&orderByLoggedDateDesc=true&maxRecords=1000&eventType=INCIDENT&eventStatus=OPEN&disableExceptionOnMaxRecords=true&fields=csgShortCode,eventRef,modifyDate,dateLogged,eventStatus,assignedServDept[name],assignedServDept[shortCode],formattedReference,loggingServDept[name],loggingServDept[shortCode],loggingUser[name],loggingUser[shortCode],affectedUserName,assignedUser[name],assignedUser[shortCode],itemA[name],category[name],userStatus[name],resolutionDue,originalAssignedServDeptSC,webCustomPropertiesDescription](https://teste/teste/events?modifyDate=2000-12-12T12:00:00.123Z&orderByLoggedDateDesc=true&maxRecords=1000&eventType=INCIDENT&eventStatus=OPEN&disableExceptionOnMaxRecords=true&fields=csgShortCode,eventRef,modifyDate,dateLogged,eventStatus,assignedServDept%5Bname%5D,assignedServDept%5BshortCode%5D,formattedReference,loggingServDept%5Bname%5D,loggingServDept%5BshortCode%5D,loggingUser%5Bname%5D,loggingUser%5BshortCode%5D,affectedUserName,assignedUser%5Bname%5D,assignedUser%5BshortCode%5D,itemA%5Bname%5D,category%5Bname%5D,userStatus%5Bname%5D,resolutionDue,originalAssignedServDeptSC,webCustomPropertiesDescription)"

2000-12-12T12:00:00.123Z this data needs to be updated with each new query

You cannot easily modify the request parameters of an input. For more details see [here](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/get-service-now-com-data/244320).

If you are OK with restarting logstash each time you could use preset an environment variable with the date and reference that in the input.
