File Channel Logs in UTC Despite ‘times = local’ #4703
Description
Describe the bug
Logging file channel logs using UTC time even though it is configured to use local time by setting logging.channels.file.times = local. For console channel it is not possible to specify times parameter.
To Reproduce
Add this configuration and compare times in logs with actual time.
logging.channels.file.class = FileChannel
logging.channels.file.pattern = %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%i [%p] %s<%I>: %t
logging.channels.file.path = ${application.dir}log/${application.baseName}.log
logging.channels.file.rotation = daily
logging.channels.file.archive = number
logging.channels.file.purgeCount = 10
logging.channels.file.times = local
Expected behavior
When logging.channels.file.times = local is configured, timestamps in log file should be using local time. Also times parameter should be supported in console channel.
Currently workaround this issue is to use PatternFormatter.
Example configuration:
logging.channels.file.class = FileChannel
logging.channels.file.path = /var/log/devs/${application.baseName}.log
logging.channels.file.formatter.class = PatternFormatter
logging.channels.file.formatter.pattern = %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%i [%p] %s<%I>: %t
logging.channels.file.formatter.times = local
logging.channels.file.rotation = daily
logging.channels.file.archive = number
logging.channels.file.purgeCount = 10
logging.channels.console.class = ColorConsoleChannel
logging.channels.console.formatter.class = PatternFormatter
logging.channels.console.formatter.pattern = %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%i [%p] %s<%I>: %t
logging.channels.console.formatter.times = local
