unixtimestamp in rsyslog.conf

this is my rsyslog.conf template format:

$template userformat,"%HOSTNAME%,%syslogfacility%(%syslogFacility-text%),%syslogpriority%(%syslogpriority-text%),%syslogtag%,%timegenerated:::date-unixtimestamp%,%msg%\r\n"

but in the log file date of log is not in unixtimestap format.

Solution

  • What version of rsyslog are you using (rsyslog -v)? As far as I can tell, the feature was only introduced in rsyslog version 6.3.8.

    See my answer on ServerFault for more details.
