A report on another minor bug.
While delving into log outputs I found that the switches and (possibly the AP as well) timestamped entries one hour behind those of the Route10. I believe entries for Route10 show the correct time. I’m at UTC+1 if that might have any impact, even though timestamps showed the correct offset.
Probably only a minor issue, but I got a bit confused at first and who knows if this might have any adverse effects elsewhere in the system.
I can confirm that APs and switches currently log in UTC, whereas Route10 is local. Beyond that, I will have to follow up. Personally I think they should be the same (emphasis on that being a personal comment).
That said, if multiple devices are logging to a syslog collector, they’ll still be in order, just reading the time stamps can be jarring, per se. I’ll circle back.
I’m always confused by timestamps and timezones. But, from what I see, when the clock on the wall here says 4 P.M. local time in CET (Central European Time) timezone, timestamps say for
so I would say Route10 shows correct local time and correct timezone (offset +1 from UTC) while APs and switches show wrong local time (one hour behind, which happens to correspond to UTC) but correct timezone (offset +1 from UTC).
That’s kind of what I would have thought as well as they (the network devices) would most certainly physically be in the same location (timezone).
Yes, that’s what caught my eye.
