This setting must be one of seconds
, minutes
, hours
, days
, weeks
,
months
, or years
. The values seconds
and minutes
are not allowed with
the period filtertype and will result in an error
condition if used there.
For the age filtertype, or when use_age is set
to True
, unit, unit_count, and optionally,
epoch, are used by Curator to establish the moment in time point of
reference with this formula:
point_of_reference = epoch - ((number of seconds in unit) * unit_count)
units
are calculated as follows:
Unit | Seconds | Note |
---|---|---|
|
|
One second |
|
|
Calculated as 60 seconds |
|
|
Calculated as 60 minutes (60*60) |
|
|
Calculated as 24 hours (24*60*60) |
|
|
Calculated as 7 days (7*24*60*60) |
|
|
Calculated as 30 days (30*24*60*60) |
|
|
Calculated as 365 days (365*24*60*60) |
If epoch is unset, the current time is used. It is possible to set a point of reference in the future by using a negative value for unit_count.
This setting must be set by the user or an exception will be raised, and execution will halt.
See the age filter documentation for more information about time calculation.
