It's possible that the confusion is about the time used by SNF. SNF
logs all use GMT time. As a result, the hour in your logs at midnight
your time will be that of GMT at that time -- so unless you are on the
date line, your time will be different.

We use GMT so that we can easily coordinate events between all
reported logs.

So, you're probably not doing anything wrong per se, it's just that
the time zone in the log files is different.

Hope this helps,
