Correct timestamp #9

Open DominicOram opened 3 years ago

DominicOram commented 3 years ago

Whilst testing ad-kafka-interface at ISIS we found that the data being produced did not have the correct timestamp: image This timestamp should be provided automatically by the kafka producer but isn't. Maybe an explicit timestamp should be provided? It could even be the EPICS timestamp of the data?

The fact that the producer isn't automatically adding the timestamp is something odd going on in your system/IBEX build environment that we don't see elsewhere. But setting the timestamp explicitly is the right thing to do here anyway, and would be consistent with our approach in other producers such as the EFUs and Forwarder.

@DominicOram This is a known issue. As I have had more important (to me) issues to work with I have not gotten around to working on it yet.

Actually, it should have the default (system) timestamps so @matthew-d-jones is correct in that there is probably something weird going on with your setup as well.
