Will that give me the information that I need?
I think that that will log too much information - all of the session
negotiation information as well as other data that I do not need.
All I really want is the date and time the session started and ended.

I find it hard to understand the concept of "too much information" in
this context. There are only two relevant issues: (1) Is the data that
you need available? If so, then why not just read it and throw away
what you don't need? (2) Are you critically low on disk space? (I
would guess that if a log file for an SFTP session is making you think
twice about its verbosity, your disk space problem is a serious issue
unto itself and needs to be addressed ASAP.)
