      Time in the log (c:\Windows\secteer.log) is in UTC. I think for most users local time timestamps would be better.

          When I look in the log files then I see in the file secteer.log.1 the following line:

          • timezoneOffset: +120 minutes

          And this is totally correct!
          The time in the logs differ to my local time exactly -2 hours (I have 10 p.m. and in the logs I see 8 p.m.)
          So this should be easily fixed.

            @olli_s For personal use, using local time could be acceptable even if this causes some troubles at Daily summer time changes. For administration in an international context it is a nightmare.
            I suggest to use eventlog which stores data in UTC and display using local time of the one who displays the logs. This also have the advantage to manage security of logs.
