make_timespan

The make_timespan function converts the specified time period into a number of seconds.

This output format differs from the standard Kusto make_timespan function, which returns a timespan.

To convert datetime (Unix time) into a string, or vice versa, use the strftime and strptime functions.

Syntax

​

make_timespan( [ Day ,] Hour, Minute [, Second])

Arguments

​

• Day: day (an integer value, from 1 to 28–31)
• Hour: hour (an integer value, from 0 to 23)
• Minute: minute (an integer value, from 0 to 59)
• Second: second (a real value, from 0 to 59.9999999)

Returns

​

If creation is successful, the result will be the number of seconds in the interval. Otherwise, the result will be null.

Examples

​

make_timespan(1,12,30,55.123) returns as 131455.123

print make_timespan(1, 0) returns as 3600
