Could you pass time zone information as a property of the logging event so the server knows how to convert the time back to utc?
Looks like only RollingFileAppender has a settable DateTimeStrategy (local or utc). ________________________________ From: SEGERS Steven (CNH) <steven.seg...@cnh.com> To: "log4net-user@logging.apache.org" <log4net-user@logging.apache.org> Sent: Thursday, October 27, 2011 11:05 AM Subject: Logging events generated in other timezones Hello Our client-app send logging-events to our server using the RemotingAppender. The server then logs the events in the database using the adonet appender. We use the RawUtcTimeStampLayout to log the message timestamp. It appears that all timestamps are interpreted as if they are local server timestamps. The FAQ (http://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/faq.html#distributed) seems to suggest that the RemotingAppender sends all timestamps to the server in utc format, but this does not seem to work for us. When I look at the code, I see that the timestamp of the logging event is created using DateTime.Now (so without any timezone info), and I cannot find anything in the RemotingAppender that does any conversion of this timestamp. Am I missing something obvious or is the claim in the FAQ not correct? Best regards Steven
