Hello,

I want to create a rule to detect any connection attempt between 7pm and 7am the next day. But unfortunately I am obliged to put the whole date (year, month, day, hour, minute and second) which obliges me to modify my rule each day by changing the date.  
Here is the rule I have :  
`event.code : ("4624" or "4625") and @timestamp >= 2023-05-23T19:00:00.000 and @timestamp <= 2023-05-24T07:00:00.000`  
The rule I want :  
`event.code : ("4624" or "4625") and @timestamp >= 19:00:00.000 and @timestamp <= 07:00:00.000`

Does anyone have an idea please?
