I have set up my tezos services to be controlled by systemd using etomknudsen's scripts. The output from those services gets logged by journald with double timestamps since both the tezos applications and journald itself each add a timestamp. For tezos-node a typical log line looks like this:

Mar 18 08:44:58 baker.example.com tezos-node[27442]: Mar 18 08:44:58 - validator.chain(1): Pushed: 2019-03-18T13:44:58Z, Treated: 2019-03-18T13:44:58Z, Completed: 2019-03-18T13:44:58Z

Can I change the configuration so that only one timestamp appears in each log line?

For the tezos-node service it is possible to remove the timestamp using a tezos-node configuration with the following additional parameter at the top level:

 "log": { "template": "$(section): $(message)" },

That results in log output like this:

Mar 18 09:41:43 baker.example.com tezos-node[27537]: validator.chain(1): Pushed: 2019-03-18T14:41:43Z, Treated: 2019-03-18T14:41:43Z, Completed: 2019-03-18T14:41:43Z

    I have not found a similar solution for tezos-baker and tezos-endorser. Any ideas?

  • Interesting. Code here and here suggest that the client would need a patch to accept a template (from config file? env var?). As a hack, one could just patch here...
