BDS-9943Console output not showing date and time
Summary
After upgrading BDS to 1.16.100, a timestamp no longer preceeds each line in the console output. It appears for the first few lines and is then gone after the difficulty is output.
Steps to reproduce...
- Download and start a 1.16.40 based BDS instance
- Note the console output displays timestamps on each line
- Download and start a 1.16.100 BDS instance
- Note that the console output displays no timestamps after initial startup
What I expected to happen...
Timestamps continue on each line in the console output
What actually happened...
No timestamp on each line
How does this impact admins
At the moment, with no meaningful log output option admins rely on the server generated log file that is cleared on each server start, or by copying the console output to a file. This information can be used to check for hangs, determine when players logged on and off etc.

Same issue here, rather annoying. Upvoted.
The timestamp is there at server startup, but drops off after the Difficulty level INFO message is written to the console. They were time-stamped up to and including Version 1.16.40.2, but not from 1.16.100.4 onwards (see below examples);

After
I really hope the times haven't been removed on purpose... I depend on timestamps so I can roll back the server if someone griefs it. Among other things - like seeing how long a new player has been on, and such... Gotta keep an eye on these kids.
HOW DO I REECH THESE KEEEEEDS?
Issue still the same with 1.16.101.1 (Thought was unlikely, but tested anyway)
Same issue here after upgrading to 1.16.100 on Ubuntu Linux 20.04. On version 1.16.40 it was okay.
I run a MCB server at home on a Linux PC and I wrote a bash script if someone connects in the last 10 minutes, my kids and their friends get a notification about a new connection. Now this does not work, actually cannot work without time/date. Hope it will be fixed soon.
Issue persists on 1.16.200.2
Issue persists on 1.16.201.2
Is there a process for getting an update or assigning an issue? This bug remains unresolved and unassigned, and is preventing backup scripts from functioning correctly as they rely on timestamps to detect whether a player has connected/disconnected since the last backup. Without that, taking hourly backups is causing capacity issues.
still waiting for this issue to be fixed. Last patch did not correct it. How does this get assigned to a developer to be corrected? It says it is a confirmed bug but nothing has been done about this issue as of yet.
Issue persists on 1.16.220.2
Has anyone found a work around for this?
One workaround is to run it in a docker container. The docker logs can be viewed with timestamps.
Issue still persists on 1.17.2.01
Same issue for me as well. I have no idea how long users are active on my server without the timestamps in the console window. This doesn't seem like a complex issue that should be persisting this long.
We believe this is fixed in the latest version.
