Question

What is the specific time zone used for the date column in the exported event log file?

Answer

Even though on the Administration & Monitoring Console the event log time is localized, the date column in the downloaded *.csv event log file uses the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) time zone.

This standardized time zone ensures consistency and avoids confusion that may arise from using different local time zones. By using UTC, the date and time information in the event log remains consistent across different locations and can be easily converted to the desired time zone if needed.
