+When collecting log data, the timestamp attached to messages is critical for data integrity and accurate search results. Sumo Logic indexes the timestamp of each message to ensure results fall within the query’s time range, allowing you to reconstruct event timelines reliably.
 
 ## Timestamps
 
 Timestamp is the part of a log message that marks the time that an event occurred. During ingestion, we can detect the message timestamp, convert it to Unix epoch time (the number of milliseconds since midnight, January 1, 1970 UTC), and index it. The timestamp is parsed either using the default timestamp parsing settings, or a custom format that you specify, including the time zone.
