Time stamps on log files?

Help & Support
#1

Is there a way to turn on time stamps on the log files?
It seems this is consistent across all ARRs that there are no date/time stamps on any of the log files.

docker logs --tail 5 sonarr

Although SABNZB has timestamps and this is a common action in log files.
docker logs --tail 5 sabnzb

Use the “-t” switch.

root@hda:~# docker logs --tail 5 -t sonarr

Those are the docker container logs, not sonarr logs. Sonarr logs do have timestamps but in your very first example you didn’t “tail” enough lines to see it because it happens to be the stack trace of an error. So the first line of the error will have a timestamp.

Thank you for that info!
I wonder why sabnzb shows the logs by default for docker without the -t, but sonarr doesn’t?
I’d rather have a consistent command to run, but I’ll alias it if I have to.

docker logs --tail 5 sabnzb   # shows timestamps by default
docker logs --tail 5 sonarr   # doesn't show timestamps by default

You are correct, thank you. I just did a:
tail -f -n 100 sonarr.0.txt
and I see timestamps further up!
