Questions on expressions

Nice work <@U027B0M9FL4&gt;!!!

Can I paste this right into Cribl as a value? I am getting an error with the above expression

Oh I see. It needs to be a global variable

you can put it in a Code function (eval won't work)

what If I want to use it as a payload parameter in a collector?

that particular implementation wouldn't work

Is there a workaround?

depends on how strict/safe you want your GUID creation to be. Easy enough to fudge a GUID-like string using a hash of a datetime string for example

`C.Mask.sha1(Date.now())`

(trim, format as needed)

2nd ask`C.Time.strftime(Date.now()/1000,"%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S UTC",true)`

Thanks for your help Jon!

I'm trying to set up collectors for mimecast it requires a lot of steps if I were to do it in Cribl. Would you suggest I just do this Something like Lambda and pull them in via S3?
