eg: 2017-02-17 17:33:12,837 INFO  [org.hawkular.metrics.c....

verified, logs contain date as part of timestamps.

@wsun: the test case is listed https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1423014#c1 and verified here https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1423014#c2

Is there something else that needs to be documented? Is this something that QA needs to do, or something the engineering side needs to complete?

Hi Matt,sorry for confusing you. Next time I'll put the comment on here for the keyword.
I added this keyword just to remind QE to add case/checkpoint in our test case,no any action from the developer.
Once we add the case/checkpoint for the bug,we will link the test case to the bug and will remove the keyword from the bug.
