Change Event time in Event log to GMT

giang le asked on August 4, 2014 12:02

Hi all!

I have a question: How to change Change Event time in Event log to GMT. Currently, Event time is current time of server(Datetime.Now). I tried find a few codes to Log and change Datetime.Now to Datetime.UtcNow.

log.LogEvent(eventType, DateTime.Now, source, eventCode, CMSContext.CurrentUser.UserID, HTTPHelper.GetUserName(), nodeId, nodeNamePath, HTTPHelper.UserHostAddress, eventDescription, siteId, HTTPHelper.GetAbsoluteUri());

log.LogEvent(eventType, DateTime.UtcNow, source, eventCode, CMSContext.CurrentUser.UserID, HTTPHelper.GetUserName(), nodeId, nodeNamePath, HTTPHelper.UserHostAddress, eventDescription, siteId, HTTPHelper.GetAbsoluteUri());

However, I thought I can't change every where because there are many place to implement log so please suggest for me best way.

Thank very much!

You might check the setting and enable Time Zones. You can set the zone the server is in as well as what zone the site is in.

In Settings>System there is a property to enable time zones. Check it. Then set the timezone the server is in and set the timezone for the website. Users can update their profile to have a timezone then or you can set a default (which is the site I believe). So although its stored in one time, it will display to them in their desired zone.
