- wruza 4y agoWe don’t watch logs for fun. If issues get reported in local time, using UTC logs simply shifts the burden on an issue reporter (who may be clueless in this regard) and/or an investigator who now has to convert dates back and forth in their communication and probably while viewing, because let’s be honest barely anyone will scurpulously convert all dates into UTC with an additional tool, when it’s easy enough to subtract time in your head. We could use both dates in logs, but that would eat an unreasonable amount of columns and confuse naive greps. We could also use non-standard time formats, e.g. <localtime8601>[<dst switch warning>] <unixtime>, but standard log handling tools aren’t built for it.
