How can I see the Date/time my data was received by Splunk?

I'm having an issue with NTP, so the date and time of the records sent by the Operating Systems are all wrong. I want to see/or sort my data within Splunk by the Date/Time the record was received by the Splunk daemon.

Is this possible?

your base search | eval sortTime=_indextime | sort sortTime | table ...

Hi @hartcl1

Are you looking for the internal _indextime field?
