Sequence NumberЕxt seq_num Occurrence Recommended Integer A 32-bit positive number that indicates the order of events sent by the client.

Note: The first event that a client sends has a Sequence Number of 1 and the client increments the Sequence Number with each subsequent event. For UNPACK (2) composite events, each event in the events array must have a unique seq_num, such as events[i+1].seq_num = events[i].seq_num + 1. When the sequence number wraps around, based on java.lang.Integer.MAX_VALUE, it must start from 1. The event service records sequence numbers to detect lost events.

Note: The time submission format is the number of milliseconds since 01/01/1970 00:00:00 UTC. The event producer or the event collection agent that detects the event provides the event Device Time.

Note: The internal time format is the number of milliseconds since 01/01/1970 00:00:00 UTC.
Device End TimeЕxt device_end_time Occurrence Optional Datetime The time of the last aggregated event.

Note: The time submission format is the number of milliseconds since 01/01/1970 00:00:00 UTC, and this value must be greater than or equal to the Device Time (device_time) value.
Time Zone timezone Occurrence Recommended Integer Returns a Long value that represents the difference in minutes of between the local time in this time zone and the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

Ex: In a state adopting daylight time in the Pacific time zone, the Bias is 480 minutes and DaylightBias is -60 minutes. To determine the time in UTC for June 11, 2 A.M. PST, add a Bias of (480/60) hours and a DaylightBias of -(60/60) hours to the local time June 11, 2 A.M. The time in UTC is June 11, 9 A.M.
