Yes, this should definitely be a display-only conversion.  The logs
should be unchanged from what the client sends when they are being
analyzed for potential alarms.

That is a perfect segue into another problem I noticed.  The first
character on all my log lines for this logfile is [, a left square
bracket.  That is being replaced with a . (period) character.  In the
email alarm, every line starts like this:

&red .2015-03-13 23:16:43.386125]

As expected, on the web page, the red indicator icon replaces &red.

Thanks,
