The time_diff node

The time_diff node adds a field to the current data-item containing the difference between the timestamps of the consecutive items. Note that the difference in time will be calculated from the data-points timestamp fields and does not reflect the difference in time points coming into the node.

For the other behaviour see time_elapsed.

The unit for output values is milliseconds.

Example

|time_diff()
.as('time_diff')

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Default
as( string )	name of the field for parsed data	'timediff'
default( any )	default value to use, when no previous time exists	0
