Add a syslog Time Zone

Add a time zone for one or more syslog event source computers to receive and correctly adjust events from syslog sources that are in a different time zone than the CA Enterprise Log Manager server.

You can add a syslog time zone when creating an integration, when configuring a connector, or when creating a saved configuration.

Note: When adding a time zone to an environment where daylight savings time applies, be sure that a matching time zone entry exists on the agent host system. Without such an entry, the syslog time zone is unable to process the daylight savings time change, and events show an incorrect time stamp during the daylight savings period.

To add a syslog time zone

1. Access the syslog time zone interface in one of the following ways:
   • Open the syslog integration to which you want to add time zones, and advance to the Default Configuration step.
   • Open the syslog connector to which you want to add time zones, and advance to the Connector Configuration step.
   • Open the saved configuration to which you want to add time zones.

   The syslog time zone interface appears.

2. Click Create Folder at the top of the Time Zones area.

   A new time zone folder appears in the list area, and a time zone drop-down list appears in the right pane.

3. Select a time zone from the drop-down list.

   The zone you select appears next to the folder.

4. Click the arrow next to the folder.

   The folder expands, showing a single untitled event source computer for that time zone.

5. Select the computer icon.

   The IP address entry field appears.

6. Enter an IP Address.

   The address appears next to the computer icon as you type.

7. (Optional) To add additional event source computers, select an existing event source, and click Add Item.

   The folder closes. Open it to display a new untitled event source computer. Go to step 6.

8. (Optional) To add additional time zones, click Create Folder.

   A new untitled time zone folder appears. Go to step 3.

9. When you have created all the time zone folders and event source address items you want, click Save.
