date and time from Log

Post by zaininpf »

Hello everyone,
observing the WTWARE log how can I trace the date and time when the events were recorded?

for example:
...
[rdpclient 774] [43.580642] 32-bit color.
[rdpclient 774] [101.741649] errorInfo 0x00000000.
[rdpclient 774] [101.742186] Receive Disconnect Provider Ultimatum.
[gm] [101.742224] TSClient (sessionId 2, pid 774) gracefully end.
...

thanks
Andrea

[101.741649] is number of seconds since boot.

Thanks for the reply.
So if I don't know the boot date and time, can't I go back to the time of the event? :(

Local terminal clock can be wrong. Raspberry has no clock at all. So we never rely on local clock.

You can send logs to another machine with unix-like syslog server (it's trivial service, google knows several for windows too) and with proper clock:

BTW, if user configures NTP (ntp= config option or 042 DHCP parameter), we can put real date and time instead of seconds since boot. I'll try to implement it. But not in short term, sorry.
