Hi !
I am having problem collecting logs from windows server 2008R2 .
The timezone are always the same with the one on Splunk server (ver 5.0.5).
I have tried to use TZ setting with host stanza but didn't work. But I confirmed that
if you force to change the _time with EVAL parameter in props.conf it does work.
[host::WIN-M02LJSSWVMU]
EVAL-_time = _time- 32400
I appreciate if someone can share workaround to make splunk server recognize the timezone
correctly from the forwarder on windows OS.
I asked this question because I wasn't sure if the below link is already commited to splunk or not.
