It sounds really unwise to log timestamps in anything in other than UTC. If you want to see the logged times in your local timezone then why not apply that conversion when you read the log?
UTC is wise only if you really have to deal with data originating from multiple timezones. Otherwise, it's just an additional interpretation step that makes it harder to read the raw logs - which not a very rare use case actually, editors are still the fastest way to find specific log records after all (mostly because you don't have to learn the web interface du jour just to search for something). E.g. the application I'm working with logs to text files, and it always runs in the same time zone. UTC is just an extra hoop to jump through, with no added benefit. (Some users do live in a separate time zone, but we rarely need to correlate user-side and server-side logs, we go by session ids anyway.) Regards, Jo
