There are actually two timestamps. "timereported" is taken from the message, but it requires that the sender included a timestamp (not all do). "timegenerated" is the time the message was received. The default templates use "timereported", as far as I remember. If it's important and you are in doubt, simply define your own template, so you know what you use ;)
Properties are described here: http://www.rsyslog.com/doc-property_replacer.html The rest is in the config guide (links at the bottom).
