OS 6.2.2 Potential Improvement to Logs.

These comments refer to OS 6.2.2 "Admin Page" => "System" => "Logs"

1. We have "System: Automatic disk spin-down enabled." and "System: Automatic disk spin-down disabled." listed.
But NOT when the disks actually spin down or up, which is far more valuable, especially as the info above listed is what was supplied in "Power" => "Disk Spin Down" => Settings.
We cannot tell from these logs that when spin down is disabled and disks were already spun down, do they start up again, or stay down.
Suggest replace the 2 entries above with the ACTUAL disk spin-down/up messages (or add them and keep the above).

2. One could also argue that the 2 messages in 1 above would be far more suitable for listing under the category 'Disk' rather than 'System'.
Of interest, currently after a few weeks running the 'Disk' category is empty whereas the 'System' category has 206 entries.

3. We have "Miscellaneous: Snapshot 'c_1425340836' is successfully created ... " and "snapshot: Smart Snapshot successfully delete snapshot ... "
This is inconsistent and I would suggest that the 'Miscellaneous:' be replaced by 'Snapshot:' (probably with capital S on both for consistency).
Also add the 'Snapshot' to the pull down category filter.

4. Make the date and time the same string format throughout so that it is easier to read.
i.e. days of month less than 10 have leading Zero, and same for the hours.

5. Is there a list of what messages MIGHT appear and in what category?
