Why are AT-TLS messages that are logged in SYSLOGD using UTC time instead of the TZ configured in PAGENT?

Question & Answer


Question

Should AT-TLS messages that are logged in SYSLOGD use UTC time?

Answer

If the TZ being used is EST5EDT and this was the TZ used in PAGENT, then the following can be done to have the same Time zone used for AT-TLS message logging.....

Create a file, for example /tmp/grp1.env with this in it TZ=EST5EDT

Then point AT-TLS to that file:

 TTLSGroupAction grp_act1
 {
 TTLSEnabled On
 Trace 255
 CtraceClearText On
 GroupUserInstance 9
 TTLSGroupAdvancedParms
 {
 Envfile /tmp/grp1.env
 }
 }

The TZ will be picked up by the AT-TLS groups, which issue the messages to syslogd, when your AT-TLs policy is refreshed via a 'F PAGENT,refresh'
