Custom event date format

To create a customized event format, your device must supply the raw date format by using the devTime event attribute in the payload of the event.

Use the devTimeformat to format the devTime event attribute to display the event in IBM® Security QRadar®. The suggested devTimeFormat patterns are listed in the following table:
