Is there any way to access the start and end time of each step from a later step? Pi is trying to access $start_at and $end_at, but they don’t seem to be accessible. I’m trying to add telemetry to my workflows in as generic a fashion as possible.
I would LOVE if this were possible!!
That way we could add a generic “log_telemetry” custom action/step at the end of all our workflows. 
You’d think it’d be a pretty simple feature to save the timestamp a step started & ended at (and make those available along with the values exported from the step)… :man-shrugging:
That’s what I’m trying to do, essentially. I’m about to set all my Node.js and Python steps to export a metrics object with step name, start time, end time, and whatever metrics I want to include for the particular step. Then have a step at the end that takes all of those and generates an insert into a Snowflake telemetry table.
