    Is is possible to configure the format of the date-time stamps which get written to logfiles?

    Logfiles in pfSense by default have date-time stamps which look like this
    Dec 20 22:13:18

    These are not optimal - they don't sort properly.
    For instance January dates have order 1, 13 then 9.

    ISO 8601 defines a better behaved time stamp, like
    2019-12-20T22:13:18Z for a date-time for UTC

    At the very least it would help to force the date values to be always two digits, that would be a bit better.

        Thanks. The good work on the date formats in the logfile is now live and in production on v2.5.
        Much appreciated.
