Formatting time since state change

rafiwui · March 11, 2019, 5:18pm

I am trying to retrieve the moment of state change of a service or host. This works well as far as I want it formatted the same way as the header of monitoring/service/show… but I want the point in time.
So not since 5m but instead 2019-03-11 18:15. I checked out the rendered HTML and there is indeed a title behind the header label which tells me this exact information but I was unable to find where it is generated.

Can someone help me telling me how to get this information?

You are probably looking for this:

github.com

Icinga/icingaweb2/blob/master/library/Icinga/Web/View/helpers/format.php

<?php
/* Icinga Web 2 | (c) 2014 Icinga Development Team | GPLv2+ */

namespace Icinga\Web\View;

use Icinga\Date\DateFormatter;
use Icinga\Util\Format;

$this->addHelperFunction('format', function () {
    return Format::getInstance();
});

$this->addHelperFunction('formatDate', function ($date) {
    if (! $date) {
        return '';
    }
    return DateFormatter::formatDate($date);
});

$this->addHelperFunction('formatDateTime', function ($dateTime) {

for example in any view script (phtml):

$this->formatDateTime(...);
