Why does my router log some actions in UTC and some in local time? For example, I'll get log entries in UTC and then get log entries that are 6 hours earlier (local time) and then resume logging in UTC and at some point start logging in local time and back to UTC. This has been happening over multiple firmware and I'm just getting around to asking about it since a web search hasn't produced an answer. Router is an R7800 but I've seen this happen on the WRT1900ACS and WRT3200ACM also.

The only shift I see is the "Jan 01" until the clock is set and then the correct time.

Are you updating time from different NTP servers with different local time?

Comments not helpful. It has nothing to do with NTP.

I have not seen such behavior in months... or was that last year... whenever it was that tatsuya46 was bitching about the syslog timestamps. Is this happening on 43516?
