How to convert a dmesg timestamp to a custom readable date format
Issue
When viewing the dmesg file as contained within the sosreport.
Example sos rpm used (sos-3.9-5.el7_9.2.noarch)
./sosreport-node_name-CCYY-MM-DD-#######/sos_commands/kernel/dmesg
The date and time stamps are not legible, making it difficult to cross reference log entries with specific reported events.
dmesg -F 'input_file' - Does not output the log file date and timestamps.
