Hello,
When logs are downloaded from CloudWatch as CSV, the timestamp format is standardized to milliseconds since the Unix epoch (January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC) for consistency.
This standardized timestamp format is used regardless of the original timestamp format in the logs when they were ingested into CloudWatch Logs. The reason for this is that CSV is a flat file format that works best with a uniform timestamp format across all log events.

Hi Julian,
Thank you for your quick reply and information! I will start to look at converting the Unix epoch format into the Timestamp format via Ruby. Best Regards, Donald Collins
