Abstract
Examples of the disclosure provide for providing a global timestamp in a distributed system. A plurality of nodes are connected via a network. A logical clock is implemented on a node of the plurality of nodes. The logical clock sets a global time for the network, such that another node of the plurality of nodes labels a local event with a global timestamp interval based on the global time provided by the logical clock.
