Hi,
Can you please add timestamp for the next version?

kind of :

result = { "timestamp": int(time.time()),

Hi, can you describe the use case?
Also, you can always add timeatamp yourself to the dict after you get back the result.

Hello and thank you for your reply :)

In the context of IT monitoring system, I want to convert some templates (events) to time series.
Adding this current timpstamp will be a default value if there is no time (timestamp) in the original logs.

Of course we can add it later to Result dict but having it natively help me a lot.

Actually, I don't understand why it is more difficult to add it just after you get the result. It's a single line. I prefer the result to be minimalistic unless there is a big advantage here, as it might get serialized or network-transferred.

Thanks, we will stick to the original version.
