Putting the timestamps at the beginning in some sortable form, e.g., YYYY-MM-DD;HH:MM:SS.ttt,
would allow the logs to be collected from the various mail messages and returned to their original ordering and saved in a log file, DB, NAS folder, etc.

These kinds of messages:
[admin login] from source 10.1.1.27, Friday, September 08, 2017 18:29:08
[DoS Attack: SYN/ACK Scan] from source: 79.110.83.131, port 80, Friday, September 08, 2017 18:24:58And I’m talking about the log messages that can be viewed in the web viewer by the admin or the admin can have emailed to a configured email account.
I’m unclear why this is unclear.
If the messages are all prepended with “YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS” rather than appended with the US time format, then all the mail bodies can be separated, concatenated together and sorted via the sort command. Might need tenths of seconds or something as a tiebreaker, but the time stamp of the email could be used as well.
This would allow all the log messages to be reassembled in something approximating their original order.
And it would resolve the standardization issue.
Not just Nighthawk. All logs.
As the USA is just about the only place that uses the wonky MM-DD-YYYY format, this makes much sense.
