| Description |
This article describes how to convert timestamps in Unix format to a readable format. When REST AP is usedI to get system time from FortiOS, it will return a large value where it represents the time in Unix format. Hence, it is necessary to convert the format to a readable format. |
| Scope |
FortiOS. Windows Power Shell. |
| Solution |
For example,the result from REST API is get as below using the Postman API tool:
Request URL: https://x.x.x.x:443/api/v2/monitor/system/time?access_token=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Results:
"http_method": "GET", "results": { "time": 1676859269 } Follow the steps below to convert the timestamp format using windows power shell:
1) Open the windows powers shell and define the parameters for Unix time:
$unix_timestamp = 1676859269
Here, the large number is the time value in Unix format.
2) Use the below command to convert the Unix time to a readable format:
Get-Date -Date ([DateTimeOffset]::FromUnixTimeSeconds($unix_timestamp)).DateTime
It is possible to see that the time is now converted to a readable format. |
