Current time in SimData event attributes

praneshd — Tue, 18 Dec 2018 11:34:42 GMT

Using SimData to manufacture some artificial events into our Splunk world. However, SimData not allowing or provided any API which allows to set System date ( current date) to any attributes in event.

entity User {
    init {
        id = "bot-id";
    }
    every(spinOffPriquency m) {
        var sessionID = Guid();
        emit LogUserRequest {
                               instanceId: id
                             observationTime: <Current Time>;
        }
    }
}

Above example, I want to set observationTime to current system time. I don't see any method/api DLS (domain specific language) [page][1]

Some extent Template allows to set current time using {{_time}} but, this wont hit to template as an splunk event.

This is a good point. Seems like we need a time function that takes a format and returns a string representation of the current simulation time. I'll try to get it into the next release.
