how can we change the time zone to log the enteries?

Currently server log has the different time zone and I am trying to change the time zone to different one.

Is there any extended properties we need to use to set the different time zone?

Try from Settings > Logging > View Server Logger Details

I looked at the same but there was option to change the date/time format but I did not find a way to change the time zone.

I am fine with the format but only the time zone needs to be changed.

What is the Log Timestamp Format?

Refer BIS for more information - Date Folder. Reply back if you still have issues.

our system logs are stored in the format like this [104648]2015-02-26 09:32:18 EST

Date and time format is fine, I can go ahead and change in IS Admin Settings → log , but there I only have ability to change the date format but not the time zone.

instead of EST Time zone, I want to change to CST time zone.

Thanks

Share the Log Timestamp Format from your IS page.

Service log time format I have in IS is as below , can we mention the timezone anywhere here?

Format: yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss z

Usually the setting depends on your system date time format what you have set.

See if this works: yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss ‘CST’

Let me check this and get back to you.

Mahesh, thanks for your reply but this did not work. May be we need to do some changes in JVM , before starting the IS ?

Changing the format to “yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss ‘CST’ '” updated the heading only but not the log entries.

I think I got it. May be it is taking the server’s default time zone…

Yes that is what even I guessed. What changes did you do?

Hi Sam ,

You can use the java Time zone updater to update the time zone of the JVM on which IS is running.
