2. If you want to generate an epoch for a specific time, enter your date & time into the fields besides "Human date to Timestamp"

3. After you enter the date, "Human date to Timestamp" it will return an "Epoch timestamp" listed below the fields used to specify the date. You can just copy that timestamp & use it in your configs.
