How to add timestamp to logs?

[mariusa]

Hi,

How can one add an ISO timestamp in front of each log entry?

Couldn't find a solution when searching the repo.

Thanks

Since many applications will do that themselves and the timestamps would be redundant, that is not done by design. As an example, Node-RED does this:

There is the logdate option to add a date time prefix to uwsgi subprocess unbuffered output (that can be added to this block here), but, again, it is not added by default since it is often redundant.
