How the time is determined depends on what Processor is used, but this field should be the time that is associated with when that record was created by the data source (i.e. when the event it represents actually occurred).
For example, if you're using the TsProcessor on a log file, you'll get the time found in the log line as parsed into a Date object (see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CHUKWA-472). I believe other processors (defaultProcessor?) will use the time that the record was created in the adaptor if a time can't be grokked by looking at the record itself.
