Can a GMT timestamp be added for Brightmail logs on the Syslog server?
Created: 16 Mar 2011 | 2 comments
Adding a GMT timestamp (other timezones indicated with e.g. +1, or -6) would make the Syslogs better understandable.
Currently the Field reserved for date and time on the Syslog server is using a UTC time stamp.
It shows the time in UTC, encoded in UNIX epoch time format.
(see www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO15683 and www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO15282)
If a UNIX epoch time format is possible, certainly a GMT timestamp should be possible as well?

standard out there...
... substituting the LINUX standard (BSDish) syslog/syslog-ng by rsyslog and defining the timestamp format to be RFC3339 compliant might address both: ease of implementation and delivering a better-to-read timestamp (at least it is hard to argue with RFCs ;)).
