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 configures datetime as localtime by default.

To view the configuration, 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.
