Timestamps on output

[zofrex]

I'm trying out Overmind instead of Foreman and there's one feature I'm missing, which is the timestamps.

In Foreman the output looks like:

15:48:36 web.1       | => Booting Puma
15:48:36 web.1       | => Rails 6.0.3.4 application starting in development 

And in Overmind:

web       | => Booting Puma
web       | => Rails 6.0.3.4 application starting in development 

I do find timestamps useful sometimes, so it would be great to have an option to display some.

Apologies if this is already possible, or has already been discussed before, but I searched and couldn't find it.

Possibly, this would result in duplicate timestamps though, since e.g. Sidekiq already prints out timestamps:

sidekiq_default | 2020-12-31T11:58:24.864Z pid=54814 tid=a2e INFO: Booted Rails 6.0.3.4 application in development environment
sidekiq_default | 2020-12-31T11:58:24.864Z pid=54814 tid=a2e INFO: Running in ruby 2.7.2p137 (2020-10-01 revision 5445e04352) [x86_64-darwin19]
sidekiq_default | 2020-12-31T11:58:24.864Z pid=54814 tid=a2e INFO: See LICENSE and the LGPL-3.0 for licensing details.

single requests also come with a timestamp in puma:

web     | Started GET "/" for 127.0.0.1 at 2020-12-31 13:04:54 +0100

Ideally, timestamps would be configurable (on/off) and only show the time (without date; the date doesn't change that often during my workday) to keep the log less verbose.

Most of the tools write their own timestamps to the log. If they don't, it's probably no much sense in timestamps in the context of the tool. However, I have this feature in mind.

ya I agree, It's best to keep it optional, enabling on passing a parameter.

--show-timestamps (OVERMIND_SHOW_TIMESTAMPS) flag is added to v2.4.0
