Date parsers

This module provides processing for the output of the date command in various formats.

Date - command date

Class Date parses the output of the date command. Sample output of this command looks like:

Fri Jun 24 09:13:34 CST 2016

DateUTC - command date --utc

Class DateUTC parses the output of the date --utc command. Output is similar to the date command except that the Timezone column uses UTC.

All classes utilize the same base class DateParser so the following examples apply to all classes in this module.

Examples

>>> from insights.parsers.date import Date, DateUTC
>>> from insights.tests import context_wrap
>>> date_content = "Mon May 30 10:49:14 CST 2016"
>>> shared = {Date: Date(context_wrap(date_content))}
>>> date_info = shared[Date]
>>> date_info.data
'Mon May 30 10:49:14 CST 2016'
>>> date_info.datetime is not None
True
>>> date_info.timezone
'CST'

>>> date_content = "Mon May 30 10:49:14 UTC 2016"
>>> shared = {DateUTC: DateUTC(context_wrap(date_content))}
>>> date_info = shared[DateUTC]
>>> date_info.data
'Mon May 30 10:49:14 UTC 2016'
>>> date_info.datetime
datetime.datetime(2016, 5, 30, 10, 49, 14)
>>> date_info.timezone
'UTC'
