Is it possible to rewrite the _time value for summary index events/

responsys_cm

I'm using "collect" to send events to a summary index. Collect seems to put its execution time into the _time field of the summary indexed events. If I wanted to have a field in the event data used as the _time value for the summary index, how would I do that?

Thanks.

Yes, you can set the value of the _time field before the collect.

Example:

... | addinfo | eval _time=info_max_time | collect ...

you can use any eval function to calculate the _time value.
