Remove ``Time`` column from OS Boot logs
100%
Description
Hello and happy holidays. I just noticed that the OS Boot Logs under pfSense GUI show "Time" and "Message" columns however no timestamps are ever registered or logged. Should the Time area be removed or is something not logging anymore here?

- Status changed from New to Not a Bug
The kernel boot log has no timestamps, the message log buffer is dumped all at once into the log file by the kernel at boot time. The kernel itself doesn't track timestamps for entries in the message buffer.
This is how it works in the OS and there is nothing that can be done to change it.

Thanks for the information. Should Status / System Logs / System / OS Boot have time column removed as it is misleading and just have it say message? It shows a section for time on this log area still

Message column is shown now. This affects userlog and dmesg.boot (OS Boot) logs - sorting behavior remains the same.

userlog has a timestamp it's just not being parsed out since it doesn't match the syslog format.
