Enabling Timestamp on Syslog Messages
By default, syslog messages include a time/date stamp, taken from the datetime, stating when the error or message was created.
To enable timestamp, use the following command.
• Add timestamp to syslog messages.
CONFIGURATION mode
service timestamps [log | debug] [datetime [localtime] [msec] [show-timezone] [utc] | uptime]
Specify the following optional parameters:
– datetime: To view the timestamp in system local time that includes the local time zone.
– localtime: You can add the keyword localtime to view timestamp in system local time that includes the local time zone.
– show-timezone: Enter the keyword to include the time zone information in the timestamp.
– msec: Enter the keyword msec to include milliseconds in the timestamp.
– uptime: To view time since last boot.
–
utc: Enter the keyword utc to view timestamp in UTC time that excludes the local time zone.
If you do not specify a parameter, Dell EMC Networking OS congures datetime as localtime by default.
To view the conguration, use the show running-config logging command in EXEC privilege mode.
To disable time stamping on syslog messages, use the no service timestamps [log | debug] command.
