I'm pretty sure that the default is whatever timezone Java thinks it is running under. Normally this is the local timezone, but I have seen setups where some of Java's time zone information files have been removed, which causes Java to default to GMT. Java out of the box does not do that. What version of the JDK are you using and has it been modified or is it direct from Oracle or other vendor?

By default Java does not read a timezone from /etc/localtime, which of course does not exist under all OSes. I do not know whether or not logback has features to customize timestamps beyond what you are using. It may be that it hasn't been considered necessary since there are many opportunities to customize Java.

So your first step is to figure out why Java is defaulting to GMT. Again, that is not the normal behavior.

Hello,
As per my understanding currently using following pattern:

<encoder>

<pattern>%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%thread] %-5level %class{0} %_msg_%n</pattern>

</encoder>

Time stamp printed in log files display time in GMT format by default.
Using %date{HH:mm:ss.SSS,Australia/Perth} we can set the timezone to a
particular value (In this case Australia/Perth).
In my application I need:
Time zone to be picked up from local server (/etc/localtime) where the
application is running instead of setting it to a specific value in xml
as shown above. How can I do this using logback.xml ?
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Kriti
