Analysts forget that Sentinel logs output the TimeGenerated
field values as UTC.
Add this line to create a reformatted timestamp field congruent to your time zone:
| extend FormattedTime = format_datetime(datetime_add('hour', -4, TimeGenerated), 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss')
Remember to change the amount
value to the UTC difference for your time zone. For example, I am in the US Eastern Time Zone, which is -4
.
Now you can use the FormattedTime
field string in the remainder of your query.
