Right now, I have rsyslog handling a log for a PHP app. Well…I have PHP using rsyslog to do the logging. Currently, it logs time in UTC. I want it to log in EST/EDT as appropriate. How do I make that change?
For the record, the timezone is set correctly in PHP and on the OS. A point to note is that the OS is in a VM, although I don't know why that would make a difference as the host is also in EDT.

syslog inherit time zone from the system so you should add desired TZ value to syslog process environment.
