Hello,

I just want to see the milliseconds information along with the time field in the WSE logs.

Now I see something like:

_2020-04-21 12:33:49 CEST_

Is there a way to include also the milliseconds like:

2020-04-21 12:33:49, 250 CEST

Thanks for the help.

So for logging you can not add it into the time/date field but you can use the x-duration which is the seconds/milliseconds since wowza started - so you could use that field instead

When you start wowza in the logs one of the first lines logged is2020-01-23 14:51:28 GMT server-start server INFO 200 Wowza Streaming Engine 4 Subscription Edition 9.9.9.99dc build 20181127203650 - - - - 0.707

the 0.707 is seconds/milliseconds since it was started and each logging line should have the value in it.

Does that help you @Marco Bernasconi?
