Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I have oftentimes encountered problems which would be solved by being able to use a function which would return the current time/date/timestamp, similar to prometheus' time()
function. As an illustrative example, imagine a script which every day logs the timestamp it ran at, and I wanted to write a rule that would check this timestamp to ensure that it does in fact run everyday. In PromQL, this would look something like:
(time() - my_script{output='timestamp'})/3600 < 24
However, I have found no functionality in LogQL which could do something similar.
Describe the solution you'd like
As mentioned, I'd like LogQL to have a function like time()
in PromQL.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I have tried a few things with __timestamp__
, but that function seems to be built only for templating and not log/metric querying. Or maybe I am doing something wrong.
