Graylog Discovery

Also, if you want to join the civilized world, and also have the web interface show the correct time, you need to edit the graylog.conf file located in /opt/graylog/conf

There is a time zone line to edit.

Or... learn to work in UTC like the rest of us

Or build your own Graylog server and it doesn't have this issue.

Is there any specific reason for using UTC?

Because it never has a daylight saving problem, it's standard and universal, every system uses it identically, and it is the only option that doesn't play favourites with a region.

You can also make a new Graylog user (like AdminUserGuy) and set that user to the correct time zone from the web interface/user options

So......you just add (say 5, for NY) to everything you see?

Or just work in UTC. In modern international business you always have to adjust the time. Nothing is easier than using UTC which is stable, as a base.

How do you get everyone to play along? Server support? Desktop support? Etc..

You make it a company policy. Times are in UTC. It's pretty easy, you can set desktops through GP or similar. Set servers to UTC. Works like magic. Some people might adjust their own stuff, but if they miss things it's purely a failure on their part that they have no excuse for. In fact, the excuse might be worse than missing things (intentionally breaking policy to not know when to show up.)

Wait, wait...so you expect all your users to also adapt to UTC?

Easier than have them not be able to figure out timezones. It's LESS adaptation, rather than more.
