@splunk/moment

A package of Moment and Moment Timezone plugins for Splunk Enterprise timezones, and formatting for locales with second and millisecond precision.

Install

Install the package:

npm install @splunk/moment

Usage

Import moment from the Splunk UI package. This provides a Moment class with the timezone and timezone util plugins.

import moment from '@splunk/moment';

Create new moment instances in the server timezone and locale.

const time1 = moment.newSplunkTime({time: 1490500800});
const time2 = moment.newSplunkTime({time: '10/10/2017', format: 'l'});

Manipulate and query times using the Moment API.

time1.subtract(1, 'day').startOf('day';);
const isBefore = time1.isBefore(time2);

Format Times using second or millisecond precision

const displayValue = time1.splunkFormat('lls');

Advanced Usage

If used in an environment without the window.$C properties set by splunkweb, there are functions to setup and use the plugins with raw timezone data from Splunk Enterprise.

The timezone data can be retrieved from services/search/timeparser/tz. To access this service from the client, the endpoint must be exposed in web.conf.

For example:

http://localhost:8000/en-US/splunkd/__raw/services/search/timeparser/tz

Set this data as the default Splunk Enterprise timezone, which can be used for creating and manipulating times.

const splunkTimezoneName = moment.setDefaultSplunkTimezone(zoneData);

const time = moment.newSplunkTime({time: 1490500800}); // uses the default timezone
const nowInTokyo = moment.tz('Asia/Tokyo').locale('ja_JP');
const nowAtServer = nowInTokyo.clone().tz(splunkTimezoneName).locale('en_US');
