Fields

Field	Type	Required	Description
watch Input	field (string)	✅	Field whose numeric value should be differenced. Examples: data_field
description General	string		Describe this step.
condition General	lua-expression (string)		Only run this action when the Lua condition evaluates to true. Examples: 2 * count()
marker Output	string		Optional marker applied to emitted delta events.
group-by Input	field (string)		Group state independently per key. Examples: data_field
input-time Input	field (string)		Field containing event time for elapsed calculations. Examples: data_field
output-field Output	field (string)		Field name where the delta is written. Examples: data_field
elapsed-field Output	field (string)		Field name where elapsed milliseconds are written. Examples: data_field
only-changes Behaviour	boolean (bool)		Only emit deltas when the watched field changes.
