Hello,

Is it possible to prefix the lines in the output console with a timestamp ?

I found that using a “log4j.appender.SysoutAppender.layout.ConversionPattern” parameter in the log4j.properties file should work but, from what I can see, it only applies to the wrapper.log output.

The idea would be the same output style for the console output. Is it possible ?

Regards.
