Clearpass change syslog time/date format?

    Posted Jan 30, 2024 11:43 AM

    Hi,

    My Clearpass 6.10 server is syslogging to my syslog server, and the time/date looks like YYYY-MM-DD HH-MM-SS

    I'd like to change that to:  MM-DD-YYYY HH-MM-SS

    Does anyone know how to do this?

    Don't think you can change that. Most syslog servers have the option to add their own timestamp for when the message was received and you may be able to modify that.

    The YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS is a common format which has the benefit that it's easy to parse and you can easily sort with an alphanumeric sort.

    Thanks for the reply!  Can I ask another question related to logging?

    My Clearpass server is syslogging to my syslog server.  But it appears to be logging only for my BYOD and Guest services.  I also have another service for my 802.1x EAP-TLS clients and it doesn't appear in the syslogs.  Here's an example of the logs my syslog server is receiving.  No entries for The TLS service.

    As these logs include Acct (Accounting) data, they probably originate from the Insight reporting database. Do your EAP-TLS sessions show up in Insight? Proper set up accounting for the SSID may be needed for that.
