Re: [HTCondor-users] Condor log timestamps at milliseconds

Hi Todd,
Thanks for the response. I guess one way then would be to compile with that option myself from the source, but risk some compatibility issue, right?
Is it possible to log this as a ticket for the next release or something?
Regards.

Hello,

By default, the log lines in EventLog has the EventTime field resolved 
at second, as shown below. Is it possible to get a resolution of 
millisecond in the logs file instead?

No, not really.  :(

There appears to be a compile-time option to enable millisecond resolution of the EventTime field, but it looks to be disabled for a reason.  

The source code section I am referring is at

  https://github.com/htcondor/htcondor/blob/master/src/condor_utils/condor_event.h#L298-L304

/*
define ULOG_MICROSECONDS on linux to get microsecond resolution in the
user log.  This is write only, and probably breaks compatability with
log readers.
*/
#ifdef ULOG_MICROSECONDS
	struct timeval     eventTimeval;
#endif
