5.4.1. DDS Spy dialog now includes option to print full timestamps (with date and fractions of a second) and epoch timestamps

The DDS Spy dialog includes a new Time Format field. Use this option to configure the timestamp format.

  • -timeFormat SHORT is the default and prints in hh:mm:ss format.

  • -timeFormat FULL adds the date and fractions of a second: yy:mm:dd hh:mm:ss.s.

  • -timeFormat EPOCH displays the time as the number of seconds since the Unix epoch.

For more information, see the DDS Spy User’s Manual.

5.4.3. Extended command-line parameter {-verbosity} to independently specify service and DDS verbosity

When starting Routing, Recording, Replay, and Cloud Discovery Services from Launcher, the Advanced Options dialog now includes separate verbosity levels for service and DDS logs.

For example, you can specify the verbosity as follows to set the verbosity to warning level for service logs and local level for DDS logs:

The equivalent command-line parameter is as follows:

-verbosity WARN:LOCAL
