Sorry for hijacking the thread, but perhaps now is a good time to stop using the legacy syslog time format and use the standardized RFC 5424 format? It is the default format in upstream rsyslog, but the default Debian config uses the legacy format. Effectively, the change that I suggest is to stop putting this into /etc/rsyslog.conf by default: # # Use traditional timestamp format. # To enable high precision timestamps, comment out the following line. # $ActionFileDefaultTemplate RSYSLOG_TraditionalFileFormat The legacy time format that is used today does not record year, timezone or subsecond information. Compare /var/log/syslog outputs like this: Nov 23 21:47:31 latte jas: test with 2021-11-23T21:47:49.082799+01:00 latte jas: test /Simon
