      Hi there!
      Today I've started to see The firewall logs in this format:
      2021-09-24 21:09:33.538196 +02
      Where the "+02" never appeared before
      I wonder what is happening since I Haven't changed anything!
      Any suggestions?

        @renemg is the location you live in UTC + 2 ? If so, the log is merely indicating that the time stamp for activity is based on your location versus UTC which is what most computer systems seem to use by default unless adjusted for time zone.

            @gabacho4 @gabacho4 Yes It's +2 but I'd never seen before this log in this way, is there any setup related?
            Thanks!

              @renemg the mere fact that your logs show that time format with the milliseconds means you changed from the default settings. You do this by going to status -> system logs -> settings -> log message format. The default does not give milliseconds or UTC offset, the other option does. At some point, you would have had to make that change.

                @gabacho4 SOLVED! thanks mate! I was taking a look at that setting too, but I wasn't sure, it was changed to syslog, not default, but I had changed it before without results, when you said this, i tried again and waited for some time and voila! time settings are restored again. The key is that in my case the firewall took a while to apply this setting in the visual logs.
                Thank you very much!

                  @renemg glad things are working as desired. I too noticed that it took a few minutes before I started getting the logs to output in the format you were seeing. Just depends on the number of times things hit on your firewall rules. Happy packet pushing!
