We should probably change the flag description in man page and "asterisk -h" output to mention you have to enable it when starting Asterisk... this probably applies to other commands as well..

man page:
{noformat}
-T     Add timestamp to all non-command related output going to the console when running with verbose and/or logging to  the  con‐
             sole.
{noformat}

"asterisk -h":
{noformat}
  -T              Display the time in [Mmm dd hh:mm:ss] format for each line
                  of output to the CLI
{noformat}

There are obviously various flags that will only work when starting Asterisk and not when connecting to a remote console (some more obvious than others). We should find a way to make this clear in the various help texts.
