Exclude microseconds in rsyslog

  • 772

We're currently running rsyslog version 7.4.7. The current format in our log file is currently:

2017-10-19T14:06:01.123456-04:00 server-1 systemd: Created slice user-9999.slice.

This format includes high precision formatting (six zeros). How do I create a template or configure rsyslog to include just three zeros:

2017-10-19T14:06:01.123-04:00 server-1 systemd: Created slice user-9999.slice.

    Here's what I got:

    $template precise,"%timegenerated:1:23:date-rfc3339%%timegenerated:27:32:date-rfc3339% %HOSTNAME%%syslogtag%%msg:::drop-last-lf%\n"

$ActionFileDefaultTemplate precise
