Wondering if there is a way to print timezone with each message in the Version 1.6.8 ?

Currently my message looks something like below

Jan 21 12:22:12 <rest of the message>

Instead I would like to see something like below

Jan 21 12:22:12 PDT 2008 <rest of the message> or something in that line where I can see the timezone info.

I have come across some timezone handling documents from - http://www.syslog.org/syslog-ng/v2/#timezone_handling But only for the Version 2.x and not for version 1.6.X

I'd appreciate if you can share any tips for printing timezone ( or perhaps ISO format timestamp ) in each message for V 1.6.8

You haven't said that you're familiar with templates and macros in syslog-ng, so I'll point you towards the docs:

http://www.campin.net/syslog-ng/faq.html#template

http://www.balabit.com/dl/html/syslog-ng-admin-guide_en.html/ch03s07.html

If you have trouble making templates work, send your configs and errors to the list along with a description of what you're trying to accomplish.
