Don't know why there is not a location for "SignalFx" related questions.
According to SignalFlow API doc: https://dev.splunk.com/observability/reference/api/signalflow/latest#endpoint-start-signalflow-compu... there is a "start" parameter and a "stop" parameter. And I'm totally confused by the explanation:
"The date and time that the computation should start/stop, in *nix time"
Let's say current time is "2021-09-22 20:27:00" (America/Los_Angeles)
What if I chose a time range in the past:
- what will happen if the start time equals the stop time? Am I supposed to get nothing cause the computation stops immediately? And How to understand it that the computation should start/stop yesterday?
- start: 2021-09-21 00:00:00
- stop: 2021-09-21 00:00:00
- what will happen if the stop time is greater than the start time? Am I supposed to wait for 2 hours for a computation start/stop yesterday?
- start: 2021-09-21 00:00:00
- stop: 2021-09-22 02:00:00
And what if I chose a time range in the future?
- what will happen if the start time equals the stop time? Am I supposed to get nothing cause the computation stops immediately? And am I supposed to wait until "2021-09-23 00:00:00" for the computation to start?
- start: 2021-09-23 00:00:00
- stop: 2021-09-23 00:00:00
- what will happen if the stop time is greater than the start time? Am I supposed to wait for 2 hours for a computation start/stop in the future?
- start: 2021-09-23 00:00:00
- stop: 2021-09-23 02:00:00
