Create time series index from non-time series index

[butchkelley]

Hello,

I have a non-time series index that is updated on occasion however the data is typically very static. I would like to create a time series index from this data so I can track when it changes. I thought I could do this with Transforms or maybe an Alert/Rule that runs a query and calls an Action that writes out to a time series index but at every turn I'm asked for a timestamp field for the non-time series index.

Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Butch

I don't think that there is not much you can do, you need to have a time field in your data.

Depending on how you are updated this data you may add a field that would have the date and time of the update.
