Hi, At present, Qemu use g_time_val_to_iso8601() to get the UTC added to error_report() (commit 5e2ac5191), TBH this way is very simply, we just need invoke standard glib functions to complete the job.
But in the cloud computing and data center scenarios, there are many Other open source components, such as kernel, libvirt, openstack which are all using local time to record the message logs, only Qemu is using the UTC time. When we want to find a error message of Qemu, we should convert the UTC time to local time manually, and unfortunately different countries have different local time, what a trouble thing the converting is. So, my question is: Can we convert the UTC time to local time in Qemu? Any thoughts? Thanks. Regards, -Gonglei
