Question around date format in Event Flow viz

[smitp33]

Hi, we are currently using Superset and I started to look at using the event flow viz which would fit one of our use cases very nicely. The application that is currently firing in the events is recording the timestamp information as the ISOString() format of date e.g. 2019-06-10T18:10:53.854Z. Looking at this viz it appears to want to have the date provided in the long format that matches the toString() e.g. Mon Jun 10 2019 19:10:53 GMT+0100 (British Summer Time).

Would this be something that you would be interested in me submitted a PR to look to resolve to check for different date formats? Or perhaps you might be able to advise on an alternative approach. I have looked at getting the application that is firing the events changed, but this would affect many downstream systems ;o)

Hi @smitp33, sure! PRs are always welcome 😄

An alternative might be updating the format in the Superset layer, which does a bit of munging / formatting before passing the data to EventFlow.
