Assign the current time to the field provided by parameter
as
.
The time is represented as milliseconds since January 1, 1970 (UTC). In
historical queries, the current time is when the query is issued. In live
queries, the current time is when now()
is processed
for each event. The value, therefore, depends on where in the query
now()
is placed. If it is placed before the first
aggregate function, it is only evaluated the first time the query sees the
event. If it is placed after the first aggregate function, it is evaluated
continuously, and gives the live value of the current system time, which
can divert between LogScale nodes.
