Logging Glossary: Log Timestamp

As I mentioned here,  I started publishing the LogLogic Logging Glossary. So, here is the ninth term (first second third fourth fifth sixth seventh eighth):

Log Timestamp

The time a log message was written by the software product or a device.

This may or may not be the time the logged  event actually happened as timing of log records differs across the products.

Logging protocols or APIs may be used instead of this timestamp. Often, products that use an API or protocol will not create a log timestamp and an API call is needed to determine the time.
