Description

If an invalid or improperly formatted argument for --start-time or --end-time is provided to the export logs gfsh command, the actual time cutoffs used to determine which logs to export may be inconsistent or unexpected, but no indication is given to the user that anything is wrong.

In addition to this, the documentation for the command could be made clearer to better allow users to understand the correct use of the arguments.
