On my Cisco switches, I have configured them to send to a linux syslog-ng server, which is working fine. They were sending their messages with the timestamp, which then on the syslog server shows them with a double timestamp. I can eliminate this by using the "no service timestamps" command which will turn it off and make the log look how I want with only one timestamp.
However, now the logs on the local switch do not have any timestamps on them as well, so if I ever have to go back to the switch to look at those logs for whatever reason, I won't have any timestamps on them to help me.
I've tried commands like "logging timestamp disable" but they don't exist on my switches. Is there any way to have it not send the timestamp to the syslog server but yet still have it timestamp the local logs on the switch?

Thanks!
