Configure Log File to show date?
Posted: Sat Feb 07, 2026 8:35 pm
Hi there,
sorry if this is a stupid question but i couldnt find anything helpfull for my question.
For V8.5.5 (like all V8) there is a log file for every machine. And thats fine.
But is it possible to write the date into every log file entry?
So, for example instead of:
write additionally 02-07-2026 (or 07.02.2026 as i am german 
) somewhere in every line.
If you leave your PC alone for some days and want to check the errors/warnings once in a while it would help to see on which day it happened.
Of course this is a nice-to-have.
Is this already possible, and i am just to stupid to find the answer? Or is it not possible?
Using Debian Linux btw.
Thanks!
