Last Build Time

I'm trying to grab the last build time to display the duration since last build in days/hours.
But I can't seem to find the correct date in the objects available to me.

widget.on('ready', function(se, ev){
 var lastbuildtime = se.datasource.lastBuildTime;
}

This build time isn't correct. It returns the last date I manually built the cube, and does not update on scheduled builds, which seems very strange.

  Hi Mike,

  The most accurate way to retrieve an ElastiCube's last build time is via the REST API call:

  http://localhost:8081/api/elasticubes/servers/LocalHost/YourCubeNameHere/lastBuildTime

  Which you can execute using jQuery's $.get() shorthand function. (or any other method of executing AJAX calls you prefer)

  It will return a serialized date/tick string, like this one: "\/Date(1485199620844)\/"

  You can parse it using this code:

  // assuming responseData = "\/Date(1485199620844)\/"
  var date = new Date(parseInt(responseData.replace('/Date(','').replace(')/',''), 10));

  Hope this helps!

  Didnt think to use the rest api. Seems a bit silly when sisense is pulling the date somewhere. But I'll Take it.
  
  Just a note, Sisense exposes moment to widget scripts, so you can throw the return data in a moment object:

   

  $.get(url, function(data){
      moment(data).format('LLL')
  })
