So what's tmp (ie, where does it come from)? Just looking at that command
line, it looks a lot like you're adding timestamps to every line fresh
each time you run the above command pipeline, which means that you're
giving every line pretty much the same timestamp.
tai64n is intended to be used to put an accurate timestamp on each line
*when it's logged*, not after the fact. Since you're using multilog, you
don't need it at all; just use the t action in multilog.
