Convert seconds to something readable

Our VPN reported total connect time in seconds but we needed something understandable for reporting purposes. @shoothub handily put it together for me in a post back in 2019:

input:

  • login_ duration: 5151

output:

  • vpn_connection_time: ‘1 hours, 25 minutes, 51 seconds’
rule "RA-Calc-Connect-Time"
when
    has_field("login_duration")            &&
    to_long($message.login_duration) > 0 
then
    let vpn_duration    = parse_unix_milliseconds(to_long($message.login_duration) * 1000);
    let vpn_hours       = vpn_duration.hourOfDay;
    let vpn_minutes     = vpn_duration.minuteOfHour;
    let vpn_seconds     = vpn_duration.secondOfMinute;
    let build_message_0 = concat(to_string(vpn_hours), " hours, ");
    let build_message_1 = concat(build_message_0, to_string(vpn_minutes));
    let build_message_2 = concat(build_message_1, " minutes, ");
    let build_message_3 = concat(build_message_2, to_string(vpn_seconds));
    let build_message_4 = concat(build_message_3, " seconds");

    set_field(  field: "vpn_connection_time", 
                value:  build_message_4
            );
end
