How to collect summary events with a new sourcetype and server time

I want to extract certain events into the same index with a different sourcetype, this is simple, but I would like to change the timestamp of the collect event to server time.

This is the search I am using but it keeps the original timestamp of the event.

index="cartt" | tail 100 | collect addtime=false index=cartt host=CARTT source=cartt_deleted sourcetype=cartt_deleted

Why do you want to change the sourcetype?

You can use [source:] in props.conf to create search time customizations for summary data.

How about this?

index="cartt" | tail 100 | eval _time=now() | collect addtime=false index=cartt host=CARTT source=cartt_deleted sourcetype=cartt_deleted
