Change system date/time stamps from epoch to YYYYMMDDHHMMSS

[luczynj]

Hello,

Is it possible to change the way log files, NagiosXI backup file names, etc... anything that uses the Epoch time to use YYYYMMDDHHMMSS format instead?

Thanks,

Hi JLu,
How are you doing?
I'm very sorry but there is not a way to change Epoch time to a "human readable" format in Nagios XI.

However, you can try using perl -pe 's/(\d+)/localtime($1)/e' to convert the time to a "human readable" format.

Example:

Code: Select all

tail -50 /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log | perl -pe 's/(\d+)/localtime($1)/e'

or 

perl -pe 's/(\d+)/localtime($1)/e' < /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log | less

Thank you for that.

Are there enough users who would qualify this for a new feature/option?

You can close the case.

Thanks again.
