Timezone of Server and Traccar logs is different

karan kumar6 years ago

Hello:

Our timezone is set to Asia/Kolkata on ubuntu server. We verified the same after a reboot also.

Although the timezone shown in traccar log is 5.5 hours behind Asia/Kolkata time. We have set the timezone on the traccar server by going in Settings > Server > Attributes > Timezone > Asia / Kolkata.

Restarted the traccar server post this. But time zone does not change in logs.

please guide

Thanks for that Anton. Could you help as to what we should be mentioning to force java for GMT+5:30 timezone?
wrapper.java.additional.1=-Duser.timezone=???
I tried wrapper.java.additional.1=-Duser.timezone=UTC+5:30 in wrapper.conf and then restarting traccar service but no help. It still shows UTC time in log stamps.

i checked but the conf file not found it seems compiled in traccar

We don't use wrapper anymore, but the command line is obviously not compiled in Traccar. You just need to change the systemd service file if on Linux or Windows service if on Windows.
