Preamble Query Functions
LogScale's preamble query functions set parameters for the whole query.
Preamble query functions must appear in the preamble of the query — that is, before any other functions, filters, free-text searches, etc. The functions do not process events.
Note
Some preamble functions have additional constraints on their placement in the preamble. These constraints will be described on the documentation page for the relevant functions.
As an example, the setTimeInteval() function should
always come before the defineTable() function.
