Today I changed the file /etc/rsyslog.conf since I noticed the old Fedora 8 version was still in use. Now with the version 3 the System Log Viewer is given a proper date format.

The file /var/log/messages changed data format:

2009-09-13T18:18:17.294254+03:00 localhost rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="3.22.1" x-pid="2128" x-info="http://www.r
syslog.com"] exiting on signal 15.
Sep 13 18:18:20 localhost kernel: imklog 3.22.1, log source = /proc/kmsg started.
Sep 13 18:18:20 localhost rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="3.22.1" x-pid="6280" x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com"] (re)
start

Now the system log view is able to parse the messages logfile.
