There's a bit in the broctl faq about changing format of archived
filenames that you can try out:

https://www.bro.org/sphinx/components/broctl/README.html#questions-and-answers

Basically says to set the MakeArchiveName option in your broctl.cfg to
point at a custom script which outputs your desired format and you can
use the existing make-archive-name script as an example.
