How to check if duration value is more than X days

[Eli Guttman]

Hi,

I'm working with metrics and would like to check if the duration of certain metric is more than 3 days.

Using this script: 

var met = new GlideRecord('metric_instance');
if (met.get('4d873c0b47d186d0bfbeacb1026d4395')){
	var myduration = new GlideDuration(met.duration);
gs.info('Duration: getDayPart: ' + myduration.getDayPart());	
}

Returns 

*** Script: Duration: getDayPart: 19848

For this metric record

I would expect the get 7 for this record

Thanks in advance!

You can't directly pass in a GlideElement (which met.duration is) into a GlideDuration constructor. Instead you can do the following:

var metricInstanceGR = new GlideRecord('metric_instance');
metricInstanceGR.get('9ab92906831102105e43c4a6feaad3c3');
metricInstanceGR.getElement('duration').getGlideObject().getDayPart()

Wooooooh..! 

@Kieran Anson,

Even I was working in the same and I ended up with different code. But your code looking so precise and perfect. Really cool man. Because I never heard about getGlideObject() before. By the way thank you for this great response. I learnt something new today.

Cheers🥂

Here is my code,

var met = new GlideRecord('metric_instance');
if (met.get('04c7f6cb2f9bf9501592235df699b643')) {
    var startDuration = new GlideDateTime(met.start);
    var endDuration = new GlideDateTime(met.end);
    var newDuration = GlideDuration.subtract(startDuration,endDuration);
    gs.info(newDuration.getDayPart());
}

Regards,

Dhanraj.
