One of my servers is using ISO datetime formats (2011-02-27T15:22:15.519857-05:00) in the logs the rest use the default redhat/CentOS format (Feb 27 15:10:21). After a couple of hours searching google I cannot find where this is defined. I know I changed it some months ago as an experiment but forgotten where this was done. the ISO format breaks logwatch - thus I need to revert. TIA

I had problems with that, here's the fix:
Add to first line of /etc/rsyslog.conf:
$ActionFileDefaultTemplate RSYSLOG_TraditionalFileFormat

Exactly my problem - thanks for the heads up - hopefully later versions of logwatch learn how to tell the time.

Have you changed that box to use rsyslog instead of the default syslog?
If so, there's a post on HowToForge with some info on how to put it back into traditional format:

More detail is in "man rsyslog.conf" in the TEMPLATES section.
