---------------------------------------
Awesome! Thanks
> Documentation claiming `getTimeStamp` is in milliseconds but actually is in
> microseconds
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LOGCXX-493
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOGCXX-493
> Project: Log4cxx
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Documentation
> Affects Versions: 0.10.0
> Reporter: Vincent Thiery
> Assignee: Thorsten Schöning
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: easyfix
> Fix For: 0.11.0
>
>
> The documentation implies that `getTimeStamp` returns a timesamp in
> *milliseconds*, see:
> {code:cpp}
> /** Return the timeStamp of this event. */
> inline log4cxx_time_t getTimeStamp() const
> { return timeStamp; }
> {code}
> and the member
> {code:cpp}
> /** The number of milliseconds elapsed from 1/1/1970 until logging event
> was created. */
> log4cxx_time_t timeStamp;
> {code}
> The problem is that in the constructor of `LoggingEvent`, the timestamp is
> filled with `apr_time_now()` that returns a timestamp in *microseconds*, see:
> {code:cpp}
> LoggingEvent::LoggingEvent(
> const LogString& logger1, const LevelPtr& level1,
> const LogString& message1, const LocationInfo& locationInfo1) :
> logger(logger1),
> level(level1),
> ndc(0),
> mdcCopy(0),
> properties(0),
> ndcLookupRequired(true),
> mdcCopyLookupRequired(true),
> message(message1),
> timeStamp(apr_time_now()),
> locationInfo(locationInfo1),
> threadName(getCurrentThreadName()) {
> }
> {code}
> When encountered, the issue is not difficult to debug, but it would be nice
> to correct the documentation.
