Change the timestamp format of the 'Time' Command Parameter in Shell Command Action

[Wan Fei Chee]

Hi all, just like to find out if there is any way to change the timestamp format of the 'Time' Command Parameter when configuring Actions in the Management Module Editor?

 

 

For example, customer would like the date/time in the alert message to be in the format ‘dd/mm/yy hh:mm:ss’ in 24-hour clock without the AM/PM or time zone; e.g., ‘25/11/15 09:14:42’

Is the format controlled by the System Locale settings? Or is there a way to override it from within APM?

 

Thanks

Aryne,
Using locale will change how the data is formatted for e.g whether month or day is reported first in the date ,but not likely yield exactly what customer wants and there doesn't seems to be a way OOB to override default DateFormat used by code. Anyways since we are passing it to a shell there are number of ways at shell level itself to convert date\timestamp reported by EM to whatever format customer wants for e.g http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6508819/convert-date-formats-in-bash , perhaps that's a better approach.

Kulbir.
