Adding date to the logs

1

I only run vanilla servers and go to the server, then logging, logs/latest.log and it has the time (xx:xx:xx).
Is there anyway to the date to that output?
(mm/dd/yyyy xx:xx:xx)
I do not have log4j or anything like that.

Any help would be appreciated.

I do have log4j it seems.
Looking around reddit and found that I can add the following to the launch arguments:

Dlog4j.configurationFile=<path to config file.xml>

Where would I place this in mineos?

Sorry for late reply.
You would put that in your java arguments box in the webui.

<path to config file.xml>

Needs to be the actual path to your log4j config, i cannot check but in that config there should be a timestamp setting.

The syntax will look something like the following inside your xml.

<Appenders>
    <Console name="Console" target="SYSTEM_OUT">
        <PatternLayout pattern="%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%t] %-5level %logger{36} - %msg%n"/>
    </Console>
</Appenders>

if its properties it will look like the following just make sure to append “properties” to the launch command instead of “.xml”.

appender.console.name=Console
appender.console.layout.type=PatternLayout
appender.console.layout.pattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%t] %-5level %logger{36} - %msg%n
