The receivedAt field records the moment an event arrived in Relic's inbox. It is set automatically to the current time when the row is created, so it reflects when the message was accepted rather than when it was emitted by the source product. Read against the processedAt field, it shows how long an event waited before being handled, which is helpful for spotting backlogs or delays in cross-product processing. Every inbox row has a receivedAt, since it defaults on creation.
