It's good to know that I could change my own time stamp format with syslog, but I have no power to advise the customers to do anything. They just buy the product and have environments all over the spectrum. My present task is just to read the logs and know when the messages were written.
So, I guess you're saying that it's okay to write to the various logs as long as I do it through syslog.
