Uhm, if I've got a logfile full of MCE entries after (e.g.) returning

That'd be 10 minutes, not 5, and it can be even more than that under
some circumstances.

If I run the collector every 5 minutes fetching all messages that have been generated since the last invocation the granularity should be 5 minutes, or am I missing something there? Anyway, that's still negligible for that sort of errors IMHO.

Nobody reads the damn README, so that's completely useless, and I can
already see the bug reports coming in claiming that the timestamp
isn't accurate.

Could be, you probably have more experience wrt user complaints ;).

I'd opt for reconsidering that, cutting usability because the gathered
information isn't 100% accurate isn't good practice.

I'll include a suggestion to install the devscripts package and edit
the cron file to use annotate-output in the next upload, for people
who actually do read the README.

Thanks.

You probably know that already, but just in case: you can edit the
cron file, it's tagged as a conffile.

Yeah, I just try to reduce customizing work that needs to be done for packages I use on our servers, if the changes should prove to be useful for the whole community and not only our setups.

Thanks,
Michael
