As you can see the LastTrigger is in seconds:

VirtualBox:~# kubectl get ep  -o custom-columns=Creation:.metadata.creationTimestamp,Labels:.metadata.labels,name:.metadata.name,Endpoints:.subsets[*].addresses[*].ip,"LastTrigger:.metadata.annotations.endpoints\.kubernetes\.io/last-change-trigger-time" --watch

I want the timestamp in microseconds, it is for GKE cluster. Is there any configuration in GKE cluster to get the time stamp in microseconds?

  • There is no way to do it, but you can use `--sort-by=.metadata.creationTimestamp` to sort by timestamp. It helps you? – Mr.KoopaKiller Jul 24 '20 at 13:32
  • Nops. For business and mission critical systems, the time stamps has to be in micro seconds to take some decisions. K8 should provide the timestamp in micro seconds. There could be thousands of messages at the same second, how to differentiate them and important is to check the difference of time in between events to discard the packets and take similar decisions. – Nagendra Kumar Jul 24 '20 at 15:54

Unfortunately there is no a native way to change.

I tottally understand you concern about quickly take decision, in this way you can use other alternatives to monitoring your environment.

You can process the logs using an external tool like prometheus, or use some circuit breake to keep your application resilience. If you are using the output of that command to take some action, keep in mind that sometime it could take more time than expected, since there are other variables in the middle of the way, such as network delays, the node workloads etc.

As I don't know you environment and what kind of decision you need to take I can only suggest alternatives like that.
