Often when doing custom logging or event notification, you will want to use timestamps. This is a sample policy that shows a few ways to grab different timestamps and formats for use within these audits, logs, or alerts.
This policy was built with the intent of being a framework for utilizing Apache Daffodil within the Axway API Gateway.
-
Get Current Time in Javascript and Set to current.time Variable: This Javascript filter grabs the current time as a formatted output and sets it to a variable that it then returns for use within the policy.
-
Get Epoch Time in Javascript and Set to epoch.time Variable: This Javascript filter grabs the current epoch time and sets it in a variable to be returned to policy.
-
Get Formatted Time from Command Line and Set Linux Formatted Time to linuxFormTime Variable: This pair of Command Execution and Set Attribute filters grab the formatted date via the command line from the underlying Linux OS and saves the execution output to a variable for later use.
-
