Are you talking about time of day, or an amount of minutes apart?

At the moment this is not a possibility in Nagios Log Server - I could certainly submit a feature request on your behalf. Would that be alright?
Thanks!

This is not currently possible. There is currently a feature request in our system (6108) for this to be added. I can't provide an ETA, but I can say that it is on the roadmap.

I have something kinda related to this.
I have a filter for a range setup in NLS out of the message field
for example:
field must
field : message
query : [09:30:00 TO 17:00:00]
The message looks like This <13>Jan 29 17:10:01 ibm570b4 ALERT*CRIT: Que: DP.ERROR has a message over 60 minutes old. (ECS) Ver 6.0.2.5
This was working previously. but it looks like I can not filter by this range anymore.

Actually looking at another alert I am able to filter it. But not with the new alert I'm trying to setup.

Kinda funky Any ideas? Thanks.

Could this be a discrepancy between using the UTC time in one filter, in the first screenshot, and not using it in the other?

I believe They both use the same time format In the message.
Message one
<13>Feb 1 08:55:01 ibm570b4 ALERT*CRIT: Que: TRAVELERS.GLASS.INBOUND has a message over 333.333333333333 minutes old. (ECS) Ver 6.0.2.5
<13>Jan 29 23:50:02 ibm570b4 ALERT*CRIT: Que: TRAVELERS.GLASS.INBOUND has a message over 333.333333333333 minutes old. (ECS) Ver 6.0.2.5
Message 2
<13>Jan 29 16:05:01 ibm570b4 ALERT*CRIT: Que: TRAVELERS.DP.ERROR has a message over 60 minutes old. (ECS) Ver 6.0.2.5
<13>Jan 29 01:20:02 ibm570b4 ALERT*CRIT: Que: TRAVELERS.DP.ERROR has a message over 60 minutes old. (ECS) Ver 6.0.2.5
I also was playing around with the range on the messages:
[17:00:00 TO 17:30:00] works
[16:00:00 TO 17:30:00] works
[15:00:00 TO 17:30:00] works
[14:00:00 TO 17:30:00] does not work.
