Description

The KNOX Log4J configuration for Knoxaudit log uses or.hadoop.gateway.audit.log4j.layout.AuditLayout , so when the system is using PST tz , The auditLog is logging with 1hr ahead of current PST time. Is there a way to log audit event matching with current time in system and not break with DST change?

Even in latest version it is having hardcoded time pattern , not able to add Time zone. Was thinking of adding
setDateFormat(DATE_FORMAT, TimeZone.getTimeZone(TZ)); But is there any other better way to get around this issue?

+++++
public class AuditLayout extends DateLayout {

private static final String DATE_FORMAT = "yy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss";
private static final String SEPARATOR = "|";
private StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
Override
public void activateOptions()

{ setDateFormat( DATE_FORMAT ); }

+++++

Thanks
