Bug 1368567

1. Proposed title of this feature request  

Include "year" in rsyslog default timestamp format.
 
2. Who is the customer behind the request?  

Account: UCL  accountnumber 1498818 
  
TAM customer: no
SRM customer: no  
Strategic: no 
  
3. What is the nature and description of the request?  

Include "year" in rsyslog default timestamp format, also like to get one of following format,

YYY MONTH 04 HH:MM:SS 

Or

YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS
  
4. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here) 

Not having the year defined in the datestamp makes processing of logs awkward then trying to process log files going back several years. One needs to rely on the datestamp of the file to guess the year. This seems like an obvious exclusion to customer. 
  
5. How would the customer like to achieve this? (List the functional requirements here)  

Expect following timestamp format in rsyslog,

yyyy Jan dd HH:MM:SS 

Or

yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:SS
  
6. For each functional requirement listed, specify how Red Hat and the customer can test to confirm the requirement is successfully implemented.  

Yes
  
7. Is there already an existing RFE upstream or in Red Hat Bugzilla?  

No
  
8. Does the customer have any specific timeline dependencies and which release would they like to target (i.e. RHEL5, RHEL6)?  

RHEL 6 and RHEL 7
  
9. Is the sales team involved in this request and do they have any additional input?

No  
  
10. List any affected packages or components.
