Recently I use the syslog-ng for log collection environment encountered a time zone problem,hope somebody can help me.Thanks The environment is like this: The apache server(PDT timezone,UTC-8) forword apache log through syslog to the syslog-ng server（CST timezone，UTC＋8）. The server with same time zones no problem between the forward. Syslog-ng test configuration is as follows: destination int_apache (file ( "/ disk3/cookie_logs/pid1 / $ YEAR-$ MONTH-$ DAY / $ (HOST). apache.log" time_zone (-08:00) template ( "$ DAY-$ HOUR $ S_DAY-$ S_HOUR $ R_DAY-$ R_HOUR $ $ ISODATE $ MSGONLY \ n ") template_escape (no));); The original apache log is: 58.240.69.161 - - - [14/Jan/2009: 22:27:47 -0800] "GET / www.example.com/HTTP/1.1" 200 2028 "-" "Mozilla/4.0 ( compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1) " The syslog-ng server generated log is: 14-22 14-22 14-22 2009-01-14T22 :27:47-08: 00 58.240.69.161 - - - [14/Jan/2009: 22:27:47 -0800] "GET / www.example. com / HTTP/1.1 "200 2028" - "" Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1) " Originally generated documents should be kept in /disk3/cookie_logs/pid1/2009-01-14 However, the actual file is stored in the /disk3/cookie_logs/pid1/2009-01-15 It can be seen, in fact, syslog-ng configuration item file() use the $DAY and template() use the $DAY not with a identical Macros. Is this the syslog-ng a bug? or I configuration errors. Who can help me answer you?Thanks!
