Hello,

When I query alertlist from Nagios XI with json query, all the timestamp looks like this:

1426080059000

Unix time is actually like this? 1426080059. When I query this to show the recent alerts in some listview, can I safely divide these timestamps by 1000? Why does Nagios multiply the timestamps by 1000?

Grtz

I believe that is to accommodate milliseconds should they ever be used in the future, but just in case it is actually a bug I will ask the devs.

Update: From what I understand, I was correct. It has to do with how Javascript handles the timestamp - it seems to need milliseconds.

Like Trevor said: Javascript uses milliseconds for timestamps instead of just seconds. To answer if it safe to divide them by 1000, yes it is just fine.

Ok, thanks for confirming. Thread can be closed.
