Hi all,
I wonder if anyone using Bluesocket is seeing the same inconsistencies
that we are seeing regarding EDT or any non-UTC time zone.
After dutifully patching our Bluesocket 5000 boxes for the new Daylight
Saving Time we are seeing an inconsistency between the time reported by
Bluesocket and the logs.
The Bluesocket box reports the correct EDT time (in the General->Time
tab), but it logs all events an hour earlier to both the internal log
table and to an external syslog server.
We are running software image V5.3.1.11 with patch "TimeZoneUpdate
release 1" as the only patch. My thought is that the time zone patch
fixed the software issues but not the underlying linux-based OS time
(tz-update?). I also assume that this problem magically goes away in two
weeks. To eliminate the inconsistencies we moved to UTC but were
wondering if anyone is seeing this occurrence.
Thanks,
