Hi HyunSung,

No, you cannot change the log date format. Nagios requires that it be a unix timestamp in order for the reporting to work.

This FAQ details a little perl script to print out a more human readable format --

or you could use a one-liner like --

perl -pe 's/(\d+)/localtime($1)/e' nagios.log
