Ralph Goers commented on LOG4J2-1246:
-------------------------------------
I agree with the renaming constants, but I still don't agree that it needs to
show UTC. If the server is configured with your local timezone than using "Z"
in the pattern will cause the local timezone value to be included in the
output. IOW - if I call java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter with a pattern of
ISO_OFFSET_DATE_TIME or its equivalent pattern "yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ" on my
computer I will see it append -0700 (or possibly -07:00) to the time.

> Hi there!
> There might be a small issue with the Pattern Converters regarding Timezone
> management:
> http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/layouts.html#PatternLayout
> Right now, these patterns:
> * {{"%d\{ISO8601_BASIC\}}}
> * {{%d\{ISO8601_BASIC\}\{UTC\}}}
> Give the same results:
> * {{20160104T204256,048}}
> * {{20160104T204256,048}}
> However, with a deeper look at the ISO-8601 standards, the second one with
> {{"\{UTC\}"}} should properly add the Timezone at the end of the timestamp.
> Reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Times

> *UTC*
> If the time is in UTC, add a Z directly after the time without a space. Z is
> the zone designator for the zero UTC offset. "09:30 UTC" is therefore
> represented as "09:30Z" or "0930Z". "14:45:15 UTC" would be "14:45:15Z" or
> "144515Z".
> UTC time is also known as 'Zulu' time, since 'Zulu' is the NATO phonetic
> alphabet word for 'Z'.
> *Examples*
> <time>Z
> <time>±hh:mm
> <time>±hhmm
> <time>±hh
> {quote}
> As of ISO-8601, the results should be one of the following (configurable?):
> * {{20160104T204256,048Z}}
> * {{20160104T204256,048+00:00}}
> * {{20160104T204256,048+0000}}
> * {{20160104T204256,048+00}}
