[pgpool-general: 5216] Re: Feature Request: log_line_prefix timestamp

[Tatsuo Ishii]

> I'd like to propose that an addition be made to pgpool to allow for a log timestamp to be written to the log with a timezone other than the locally defined timezone.  Where this is helpful is when we use an external tool like logstashforwarder, where we want the logs to be absorbed with a timestamp with a UTC timezone.  Postgres offers this feature ('log_timezone'), which we use, and it would be nice to allow pgpool to behave in the same way.

Sounds nice and reasonable request. I have added to the TODO list:
http://pgpool.net/mediawiki/index.php/TODO#Implement_.22log_timezone.22

However this is not a trivial task. To implement this, we will need to
import PostgreSQL's timezone staff, which is over 6.4k lines of code.
