Pierre Villard commented on NIFI-1503: -------------------------------------- I don't see any objection to set UTC as a default timezone. However, I believe this would be a breaking change that needs to wait a major release. If people developed flows to parse NiFi logs or configured third-party tools to analyze/monitor NiFi logs, this could be an issue, don't you think? > Include timezone on NiFI log messages > ------------------------------------- > > Key: NIFI-1503 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-1503 > Project: Apache NiFi > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 0.4.1 > Reporter: Matthew Clarke > Assignee: Andre > Priority: Minor > > While we can stress the importance of using NTP to make sure clocks across > multiple system running NIFi remain in sync, we cannot enforce a requirement > that all system set their systems to a common timezone. The logs currently > do not show the timezone on each log entry which can make it confusing for > users when trying to trace log events across multiple NiFI instances that are > configured for different timezones. This would be increasing difficult if > logs were moved to a central logging server. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
