Description

It would be good to include the date in the logging timestamp. I appreciate this can be derived from the log file postfix but in scenarios where you are only seeing snippets of log files or these log files are being manipulated later; it makes it much easier if the date is printed with the log entry.

I understand people want to reduce log space but adding the date would avoid any potential ambiguity.
