Configure Logging Timestamps

Details

Timestamps are incredibly important since they drive a number of important activities in our product. Most importantly, we use timestamps to filter data in your search results.

Rationale:

Using timestamps allow you to discover the timeframe of an incident.

Solution

Use the ‘logging timestampe’ command to configure this setting. Note that if set to ‘seconds’ (the default), this command will not appear in the configuration.

switch(config)# logging timestamp {microseconds | milliseconds | seconds}

Default Value:

By default logs are timestamped to the second, so the default value is ‘logging timestamp seconds’.
This default value is not shown in the configuration.
