I'm monitoring a text log file and would like to be able to add a column for each entry that represents the date/time. Is that possible?
It should be possible, yep! Could you attach a sample of the log format so that I can check it out and provide some recommendations?

i see that columns can be edited/added, but can't find any docs on syntax.

This log is a bit tricky because some of the text has spaces, so you can't just delimit the later columns by spaces. Something like the attachment works though. You can get to the column edit window by right-clicking the log's tab and choosing Edit Columns.
