Synthetic HTTP monitor execution

Synthetic HTTP monitor execution event

Fields

The following base fields are used for synthetic events.

AttributeTypeDescriptionExamples
timestamptimestampstable
The time (UNIX Epoch time in nanoseconds) when the event originated, typically when the source created it. If no original timestamp is available, it will be populated at ingest time and required for all events. In the case of a correlated event (for example, ITIL events), this time could be different from the event.start time, as this time represents the actual timestamp when the "update" for the event was created.

Fields

The following base fields are used for synthetic events.

AttributeTypeDescriptionExamples

The time (UNIX Epoch time in nanoseconds) when the event originated, typically when the source created it. If no original timestamp is available, it will be populated at ingest time and required for all events. In the case of a correlated event (for example, ITIL events), this time could be different from the event.start time, as this time represents the actual timestamp when the "update" for the event was created.
