The RB units have no battery backed system clock. You must set NTP to reset the correct time after a reboot.
/system ntp client

So even if a RB is off for 1 second, it looses time. Then the boot logs are inaccurate. Even a soft reboot. I think the only solution is log server.

That should go in as a feature request.
Mikrotik please add a battery like a cr2302 battery.

how about some creative engineering, like putting logs time in a since boot variable so that once that once the time is updated, the log times are accurate that would be a software only fix.

Without RTC chip pretty useless, and for devices supposedly 24/7 powered up for many years like mine RB133c just a headache with more contacts.
