Hi f5 team, Can you help us with proposal how can we add timestamp in the body of the mail when configure /config/user_alert.conf?

Hello Preslav,

You can use the shell command "date" to get the local time before sending the mail.

example :

timestamp=`date`

Then you can use the $timestamp variable

It will display something like that by default :

Wed Aug 16 10:50:50 CEST 2017

You can also customize the date as you want using arguments with command "date"

Regards
