 NOTE: For threshold rules, not all source event values can be used for overrides; only the fields that were aggregated over (the `Group by` fields) will contain data.
-.. *Timestamp override* (optional): Select a source event timestamp field. When selected, the rule's query uses the selected field, instead of the default `@timestamp` field, to search for alerts. This can help reduce missing alerts due to network or server outages. Specifically, if your ingest pipeline adds a timestamp when events are sent to {es}, this avoids missing alerts due to ingestion delays.
-However, if you know your data source has an inaccurate `@timestamp` value, it is recommended you select the *Do not use @timestamp as a fallback timestamp field* option to ignore the `@timestamp` field entirely.

+If the selected field is unavailable, the rule query will use the `@timestamp` field instead. In the case that you don't want to use the `@timestamp` field because you know your data source has an inaccurate `@timestamp` value, we recommend selecting the **Do not use @timestamp as a fallback timestamp field** option instead. This will ensure that the rule query ignores the `@timestamp` field entirely.

 TIP: The {filebeat-ref}/filebeat-module-microsoft.html[Microsoft] and
 {filebeat-ref}/filebeat-module-google_workspace.html[Google Workspace] {filebeat} modules have an `event.ingested` timestamp field that can be used instead of the default `@timestamp` field.
