Hello!
I have a question about IETFTimestampInGMT option.
In the documentation - section "Syslog (xm_syslog)" - I can read : "IETFTimestampInGMT This optional boolean directive can be used to format the timestamps produced by to_syslog_ietf() in GMT instead of local time. This defaults to FALSE so that local time is used by default with a timezone indicator"
So here's a part of my nxlog.conf :
<Extension _syslog>
Module xm_syslog
IETFTimestampInGMT TRUE
</Extension>
<Output outUDP>
Module om_file
Exec log_info($Raw_event);parse_syslog_ietf(); log_info($EventTime);
CreateDir TRUE
Sync FALSE
File "C:\\" + $SourceName + "\\out.log"
</Output>
Output :
<7>1 2017-10-10T12:30:59.308493+02:00 JohnDoe-PC appTest 3788 tag1 - Testing debug message
2017-10-10 12:30:59
(I tried to print $timestamp but nothing is printed.)
So I tought that setting IETFTimestampInGMT to true will convert the $EventTime in GMT but it didn't.
I checked the documentation and test different configurations, I should have misunderstood the way it works. What did I miss?
Thank you for your help :)

I don't see this anywhere in your conf.
On the other hand the upcoming beta of the EE has a DateFormat configuration option that will likely do what you need.
