Can Autosplit use local time rather than UTC?

Question

I figured out how to use autosplit to create hourly log files in NG but is uses UTC time.  Can this be changed to use local time?

Kita · Answer

There are changes in Kiwi Syslog NG 1.5 to improve timezone support for LogToFile:

Improved timezone support for LogToFile action

You can now configure whether time-related AutoSplit variables use UTC or local time for LogToFile action file naming (Settings > Formatting > Log to file settings > Use local time instead of UTC time for auto-split variables). The file name now includes local timezone information, with the last five characters indicating the timezone offset. For example, mylog_20251020072355123-0600.txt would be for a local time of UTC -6.

We would love to hear more feedback.

unfortunately there is no option to change this behaviour. I've already reached out to the support and created a service request:
