Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
The previous rsyslog release introduced a new format of the message timestamps. However, certain utilities such as logwatch may have been unable to parse this new format properly. To prevent this, the "$ActionFileDefaultTemplate RSYSLOG_TraditionalFileFormat" directive has been added to the /etc/rsyslog.conf configuration file to ensure that the old format is used by default.
