Historical Disk Usage Report - date format in excel/csv

[#1]

Hello -

When I view the Historical Disk Usage report in CM for daily or weekly or monthly, the values displayed look like dates:    2017-02  or 2017-05-02.

However, when I download the report to excel or csv, the date column has values like:   1491020099000

Just wondering what that format is and how i can covert back to a date.

thanks

Hi all ...

According to Cloudera support the date value

  "...is an epoch timestamp includes milliseconds, which makes the the timestamp three digits longer than the date converter expects. You can either remove the last three characters using a substring function, or insert a period before the millisecond digits. Either of these commands will provide the correct timestamp for 1491020099000: date --date='@1491020099' date --date='@1491020099.000'"

So...if anyone else needs to know!
