ingestion_time()
- 2 minutes to read
Retrieves the record's $IngestionTime hidden datetime column, or null.
The $IngestionTime column is automatically defined when the table's
IngestionTime policy is set (enabled).
If the table does not have this policy defined, a null value is returned.
This function must be used in the context of an actual table in order
to return the relevant data. (For example, it will return null for all records
if it is invoked following a summarize operator).
