Lab 2.1 - Standardizing rsyslog time
To edit rsyslog so that it will report full (and actually useful) timestamps, you simply need to edit /etc/rsyslog.conf
.
On CentOS 7 and Xubuntu 22.04, you only need to comment out this line:
# Use default timestamp format
$ActionFileDefaultTemplate ...
Rocky Linux is slightly different, but also trivial. Comment out this line:
# Use default timestamp format
module(load="builtin:omfile" ...)
