I am trying to parse events on multiple servers in different timezone
regions.
The events do not have the timezone offset so I intend to use parsedate()
without specifying the timezone believing that it will use the local
timezone on the server when it creates the UTC datetime object.
The following works great on windows 7 but I can't get it to work on Server
2003:
Exec $EventTime = integer(parsedate("2014-01-14 15:34:49")) / 1000;
It appears that on XP/2003 the value overflows and is only a 32 bit integer.
I am open to other ways to solve the problem of preserving timezone
information. For example I tried capturing the offset of the system by
doing this:
$timezone = strftime(now(), "%z")
but on windows the format string always shows the unabbreviated version
("Eastern Standard Time" instead of EST or -0500) which makes parsing it
later a nightmare.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
