Building a Timestamp Format

Use these tokens to build timestamp formats:

Token	Description
YYYY	Year
MM	Month
DD	Day
HH	Hour (24-hour clock)
hh	Hour (12-hour clock)
mm	Minutes
ss	Seconds

You can use these separators:

• Date separators: / (slash), - (dash), . (period), (space)
• Time separators: : (colon), . (period)

For example, to build the commonly used US date format, you would use the following tokens and separators:

MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm:ss

This will appear in the audit logs as 12/31/2025 11:59:59 PM.
