I currently have an “invalid connection / session” error festival in progress.  
However, it is not always occurring constantly. Mattermost.log do not have the “date and time information” when I look at the log.

I would like to add time information to each log record. Is this possible?

If I don’t use JSON format, I was able to leave the date and time information.
