By default, SNF datestamps are UTC in a compressed ISO format: YYYYMMDDhhmmss; Year, Month, Day, Hour, Minute, Second. This allows for easier coordination of events between systems that might be far apart -- for example, our systems and a customer's system or a large customer who has many data centers.

Log rotation is accomplished by adding the date portion of this timestamp to the log file's name. It is possible to configure this rotation mechanism to use the local date (local midnight) for log rotation. The timestamps used in the log files remain UTC.

<rotation localtime='no'/>

This feature does not activate or deactivate log rotation. Logging mechanisms control rotation individually This feature only changes the date that is used - or more specifically, when that data changes. If localtime='no' then midnight is based on UTC. If localtime='yes' then midnight is based on local time.
