Create a timestamp suitable for Loki log entries (Unix Epoch in nanoseconds).
Get-LokiTimestamp [[-Timestamp] <String>] [[-Date] <DateTime>] [[-AddSeconds] <Int32>] [<CommonParameters>]
Calling this function will return a timestamp suitable for Loki: - If a timestamp is provided it will be parsed and converted. - If no timestamp is provided the current date/time will be used.
$timestamp = Get-LokiTimestamp
Write-Host "Current Unix Epoch is: $timestamp"
$timestamp = Get-LokiTimestamp -Timestamp '2022-09-07T14:51:57Z'
Write-Host "Unix Epoch for 2022-09-07T14:51:57Z is: $timestamp"
$timestamp = Get-LokiTimestamp -Timestamp '1662562317000000000'
Write-Host "Unix Epoch for 1662562317000000000 is, you guessed it...: $timestamp"
$timestamp = Get-LokiTimestamp -Date $([DateTime]::Parse('2022-09-07T14:51:57Z'))
Write-Host "Unix Epoch for 2022-09-07T14:51:57Z is: $timestamp"
