I have created a patch based on syslog-ng-1.5.20
That adds two new macros.
TZOFFSET The time-zone as hour offset from GMT. e.g. '-0700' TZ The time zone or name or abbreviation. e.g. 'PDT'
usable like all other macros. $TZ and $TZOFFSET
the affected source files are
doc/sgml/syslog-ng.sgml documentation update src/affile.c The code change
you also need to /bin/touch src/affile.c.x
to get it to build correctly after you have applied the patch. and you need to explicitly rebuild the documentation if you want the documentation updates.
I have the need for this as I have to coordinate syslog files with other application log files that are in multiple data centers. And since a standard syslog entry does not contain the timezone, I need the log file name to contain the GMT offset so I can correlate the data in a useful manner with the logs in other timezones, and daylight saving times.
Hope this patch meets the code standards for this project and that others may find it useful.
Thanks for your contribution. I've put this patch into my pending patches queue. -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1
