Rsyslog with high resolution timestamp

 

By default, rsyslog uses traditional timestamp, which in date command's format would be:

%b %d %H:%M:%S

This is enabled by the following line in /etc/rsyslog.conf:

$ActionFileDefaultTemplate RSYSLOG_TraditionalFileFormat 

To enable high precision timestamping, comment out the line:

# $ActionFileDefaultTemplate RSYSLOG_TraditionalFileFormat 

which will make rsyslog timestamping in the RFC 3339 format.
