Generated insertId with leading dots #1500

Question

The auto generated insertId has strange leading dots. While this isn't a big deal, I'm wondering if I'm missing some properties needed to make it work. 😬

Hi @yfyau, this is expected format and behavior. If insertId is omitted in LogEntry, our logging API will assign a unique identifier as insertID using eventID library. Since Javascript timestamps only have millisecond resolution making them unsuitable for the purpose of building monotonically increasing local ids, our service does use insertId from eventId as a secondary ordering for entries with the same timestamp.

Got it. Thx 👍
