Bug Field eventTimestamp behaviour for standard vs custom events

I'm using the new Analytics library with different events and I have noticed that the field eventTimestamp is always automatically included for either standard/default events (like gameStarted) and custom ones like one I created called levelStarted.

Then, I'm in UK timezone, which is GMT+1.

So, I have noticed, than in the event browser on Unity GS, I can see that:

• collectInsertedTimestamp is always behaving using UTC times as expected
• eventTimestamp, however is using UTC for standard events and local time for custom ones

Here an example of what I'm saying (screenshots directly from UGS > Analytics Event Browser > View event content):
gameStarted using UTC/GMT+0

levelStarted using GMT+1

Notice how in the first one, both times are UTC (15:21:XX) and in the second one only one of them is UTC and the other GMT+1 (15:23 & 16:23).

Shouldn't the times be consistent? Is this an expected behaviour in any way?

If this is expected, how can I standardise so all the eventTimestamp records to UTC as I cannot find anything to do that in custom events, through the SDK.

The versions I'm using are:

• Unity 2021.3.1f1
• "com.unity.services.analytics": "4.0.0-pre.2"
• Testing the feature within the editor

 

Hi Ellie,

Of course, no problem. Happy to contribute

Thanks for the quick response and acting. Also, let me know if I can be of any help.

And, for sure, any info or update about it is appreciated.

 

Nice, thanks for the heads-up!
