CloudWatch Logs Insight queries

Question

Hello, good evening.

I'm doing a query in CloudWatch Logs Insight to get two date fields, calculate the difference, and display all three fields on the same line.

I extract the two fields (startdate, enddate) with regular expressions. ¿Is it possible to do that operation in CloudWatch?

If you can help me I appreciate a lot.

Thank you so much

Answer

How about **toMillis(startdate) - toMillis(enddate)** to give you the difference?

This may work? You may have to put your regex into the fields line to output the result..
```
fields startdate,enddate,toMillis(startdate) - toMillis(enddate)
```

Answer

Hello,

You can further parse the startdate and enddate to calculate the time difference.
I've illustrated this with example log events.

Log event 1: 2023-03-16T23:24:38.973 2023-03-16T23:24:40.586
Log event 2: 2023-03-16T23:23:38.973 2023-03-16T23:24:40.000

Following query will parse the timestamps to 4 segments:
date, hours, minutes, seconds

Difference between start and end time is calculated and multiplied to convert the difference to seconds.

PARSE @message "*T*:*:* *T*:*:*" as startdate, s_hour, s_min, s_sec, enddate, e_hour, e_min, e_sec
| fields (((e_hour - s_hour) * 3600) + ((e_min - s_min) * 60) + (e_sec - s_sec)) as TimeDifference
| display @message, TimeDifference
