[Bug 2104853] [NEW] rsyslog does not add kernel timestmap in kernel logs since 24.04

[Vladimir Petko]

Public bug reported:

rsyslog v8.2312 (introduced in noble) has a fix to make keepKernelTimestamp=off[1] work.
This caused the keepKernelTimestamp=off become the default value and kernel timestamp disappeared from the kernel logs.

Ubuntu 24.04 and up are affected.

Workaround:

add keepkerneltimestamp="on" in the rsyslog.conf:
---
module(load="imklog" permitnonkernelfacility="on" keepkerneltimestamp="on")
---
