Issue/Introduction

How does one change the VMware GemFire logging to log the messages in the local time zone?

Environment

Product Version: 9.10

Resolution

We can modify the log4j.xml to change the logging to log the messages in the local time zone. Below is an example of such a configuration:

<Property name="geode-pattern">[%level{lowerCase=true} %date{yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss.SSS z}{GMT-7} %memberName &lt;%thread&gt; tid=%hexTid] %message%n%throwable%n</Property>
