service timestamps debug uptime和service timestamps log uptime?
 
 
service timestamps
To configure the system to timestamp debugging or logging messages, use one of the service timestamps global configuration commands. Use the no form of this command to disable this service.

service timestamps type [uptime]
service timestamps type datetime [msec] [localtime] [show-timezone]
no service timestamps type
Syntax Description

type
Type of message to timestamp: debug or log.

uptime
(Optional) Timestamp with time since the system was rebooted.

datetime
Timestamp with the date and time.

msec
(Optional) Include milliseconds in the date and timestamp.

localtime
(Optional) Timestamp relative to the local time zone.

show-timezone
(Optional) Include the time zone name in the timestamp.




Defaults

No timestamping.

If service timestamps is specified with no arguments or keywords, default is service timestamps debug uptime.

The default for service timestamps type datetime is to format the time in UTC, with no milliseconds and no time zone name.

The command no service timestamps by itself disables timestamps for both debug and log messages.

Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History

Release  Modification  
10.0
This command was introduced.




Usage Guidelines

Timestamps can be added to either debugging or logging messages independently. The uptime form of the command adds timestamps in the format HHHH:MM:SS, indicating the time since the system was rebooted. The datetime form of the command adds timestamps in the format MMM DD HH:MM:SS, indicating the date and time according to the system clock. If the system clock has not been set, the date and time are preceded by an asterisk (*) to indicate that the date and time are probably not correct.

Examples

The following example enables timestamps on debugging messages, showing the time since reboot:

service timestamps debug uptime


The following example enables timestamps on logging messages, showing the current time and date relative to the local time zone, with the time zone name included:

service timestamps log datetime localtime show-timezone
