Hello, Probably by history aspects Jenkins builds log files have never used timestamps entries on log lines. There are some plugins that adds this feature, but using a kind of separate additional data, I still miss a plain timestamp in the log file.
I see three main reasons to implement this feature: 1. Using a timestamp entry at the beginning of the line in logs is a kind of "standard" in the Java world (all well known loggers do it by default). 2. They are really useful when you have to find an issue and don't have access to the Jenkins UI, all you have is that log file. 3. Most of the logs analysis tools require a timestamp entry on each log line. My intention is: 1. Use a custom (overridden) PrintStream on StreamTaskLinstener 2. Provide a way to activate or deactivate this feature by configuration (it would be disabled by default in order to not break anything working before). I'm writing this, because, as I see it, it would require a core change (StreamTaskListener mainly and some top level configuration), so I'd like to know what the community thinks about it.
