I'm trying to figure out how to show a timestamp for each line of STDOUT of an Argo Workflows pod. The init and wait containers by default show a timestamp, but never the main container.
The Argo CLI has a --timestamp flag when viewing logs.
Also the argo-java-client has a logOptionsTimestamps property that also enables timestamps.
However I cannot find a similar option when defining a Workflow in YAML. I've gone through the field reference guide but haven't been able to find something to enable timestamps in the main container.
Does anyone know if this is possible, or how to enable them?
Thanks, Weldon
The reason init and wait log statements have timestamps is that the Argo executable's logger writes timestamps by default.
The --timestamps option does not cause the containers themselves to log timestamps. It just decorates each log line with a timestamp (kubectl has a similar option).
As far as I know, there's no way to declaratively cause code running in the main container to log timestamps. You'd have to modify the code itself to use a logger which inserts timestamps.
