Do you mean rsyslog logs?

Again, systemd changes everything: you can exploit a system without rsyslog,
and systemd-journald. This writes the log to a binary format, that you
can see with journalctl. Maybe in that cas you can format the datetime field
as you wish?

Currently, I still run rsyslog (and Debian, at least with the bookworm release,
merges the rsyslog /var/log AND journalctl logs for use by logcheck, with
the side effect that logs entries are doubled).

AFAIK you can change rsyslog log format in /etc/rsyslog.conf, however this
might break all of your default/existing logcheck rules.
