How to get event _time from CIM data model?

I checked CIM data models have inherited _time but I couldn't retrieve. 

Anyone can tell what's wrong? 

| tstats summariesonly=true allow_old_summaries=true count from datamodel=Network_Traffic.All_Traffic where All_Traffic.action=allowed by All_Traffic.src All_Traffic.dest All_Traffic._time

Thanks @scelikok

Please note "_time,source, sourcetype and host" fields in datamodel  are default fields and doesn't require node_name in field-name

To get list of field name available in datamodel use

| datamodel <datamodel_name> search

Hi @phil_wong,

Metadata field are accessible without node name. You should use _time like below;

| tstats summariesonly=true allow_old_summaries=true count from datamodel=Network_Traffic.All_Traffic where All_Traffic.action=allowed by All_Traffic.src All_Traffic.dest _time
