Hi guys,

I am trying to convert time: HH:mm:ss into seconds using ruby code inside the logstash configuration file and getting error message:

\_  
Ruby exception occurred: uninitialized constant LogStash::Time {:level=\>:error}

\_

Please help me to fix this error.

Here is the solution

ruby {  
code =\> "event['event\_time'] = event['hour']\*3600 + event['minute']\*60 + event['second']"  
}
