It's whatever you tell it to parse (not all inputs are log files remember) so either you parse it from the input or it defaults to the current time when the input record is created. https://docs.fluentbit.io/manual/concepts/key-concepts#timestamp does say this at the bottom too - there's no need to understand the code just check the docs. |
