Description

suricata (as of 2.0.7) uses a date format that can be confusing. The log files have the US standard form "mm/dd/yyyy". However, when looking at the output of the "-v" option, the date form is "dd/mm/yyyy", a European preference, using slashes instead of dots. The ambiguity becomes obvious only when the day of month exceeds 12.

The feature request is an option in <suricata.yaml> to select a date format between its current form and an ISO 8601 form; my preference is "2015-05-13T09:00:24".
