Hi :)

Is it possible to have same format in monitor.log

This is supposed to be configurable, but it looks like it's not covered properly in the documentation. I'll fix that.

Can you try adding

dateformat=iso8601

to your logger configuration? Something like this:

[file4]
type=logfile
filename=monitor4.log
dateformat=iso8601

Also is it possible to write -l LOGLEVEL to monitor.log

I'm not sure what you mean? Do you mean like the output printed normally for the loglevel (e.g. debug) to go to that file too? I do that just by redirecting the output from the program to a log file with a redirect or by using a service wrapped (e.g. daemontools).

Ah I found where in the docs that option is covered - it's mentioned for the logfile monitor and explained in the common options part: https://simplemonitor.readthedocs.io/en/latest/loggers.html#confval-dateformat
