I think Timestamp is only available in Accounting-Request packets.

If you check the manual for version 4.5.1, section 5.29.16
"AcctColumnDef", there is discussion about the Timestamp attribute and
how it is added by Radiator to received Accounting-Requests.

The log snippet you included shows that the attribute is not in
Access-Request and since it is not added by Radiator, I think that
explains why you can not see it.

If the need is only to log the timestamp of request arrival, maybe %B or
the other time related specifiers would do. For example, %B does not
depend on the request contents, but is the result of strftime(time()) call.
