Greetings,
I'm having issues with Syslog-NG displaying UTC time for events that are local to the device, but remote devices show local timezone. I can't figure out how to get syslog-ng to accept messages in localtime.
Google-foo tells me I need to use time_zone("X"), but that's not working either. Any suggestions?
