IETF Timestamp Format | Log collection solutions

#1 md22 4 years ago

Hi,

Im trying to change the IETF timestamp format (number of precision). I have used to_syslog_ietf to create the formatted log message. Is anyone know how can we change the time from 6 decimal to 3 or no decimal precision)?

Sample Logs - (Current timestamp with 6 decimal) 2012-01-01T17:15:52.873750+08:00 myhost - - - [NXLOG@14506 TestField="test value"] test message

Required (timestamp with 3 decimal or no decimal) 2012-01-01T17:15:52.000+08:00 myhost - - - [NXLOG@14506 TestField="test value"] test message

Thanks.

Hi,

You should try built-in functions strftime or strptime, described here: https://nxlog.co/docs/nxlog-ce/nxlog-reference-manual.html#core_funcs They both are about to convert in some time format but there some more details.

Hope it helps. Regards, Arch
