add --timestamps option for "up" command

[ggmod]

It would be great to have a --timestamps option for the "up" command, similarly to how the "logs" command handles it, displaying the timestamp for each line of log message. I've found the "up" command's output to be much more practical than the "logs" command for monitoring the app during development, and also for streaming the aggregated logs of the latest run into a file, but unfortunately the timestamps are missing.

Thanks for the suggestion ; I think it's something we can consider.

Is this still on the agenda for the near future?
Would love to have this feature as it makes for a nice work flow, like @ggmod explained :)

Just thought I'd bump this as it seems like a great feature.

Would be especially useful for docker-compose run.
If used with --rm logs are not available after the run so i often use it with output redirection.
OP's suggestion will allow to easily get timestamps on the output.

Still useful. Please implement. It's a nice little summer project ;)

@shin- I'd love to try and get this done if it's open to first time contributors. I've tried finding where the --timestamps option is parsed for the logs command but didn't succeed. Can someone point me in the right direction? TX

How is this still not implemented? Surely the data is there to display no? Isn't it literally just putting date() on the line as each one is output?

I really want this options as well! @auther, isn't just add a data() for the log line?
docker-compose logs has --timestamps. there is no reason to miss it in "up"

Just in case some people are not aware... you can tail the logs, so this is the workaround I use:

$ docker-compose up -d
$ docker-compose logs -f -t [>> out.log]

Use Ctrl-z or Ctrl-c to stop tailing the logs.
