We have problem with timezone which gets shown in dashboard with 2 hour delay.
Right now only problems are unix, and network devices (windows with nxlog works fine)
Even localhost (nagios log server its self) has the same problem.
Did I miss any settings regarding timezone?

example from localhost (NLS) with 2 hour delay:
event from dashboard with (timestamp of dashboard shows correct time 2024-08-27T14:18:39.000+02:00)

More testing:
Some devices switches (cisco), freeBSD,.. work in real time

One type of devices unix NAS (was in delay 2 hour like problem in first post)
i changed from RFC 3164 to RFC 5424, now logs are in real time but as expected are not in correct structure.

Forgot to mention in first post that this is fresh install.

So trying to figure what the problem is i tried changing system time to UTC with same problem.
Then reverted back to Europe/Ljubljana and everything started to work as it should.

We actually have an open issue tracking a time zone change problem on Ubuntu 24 that we're working on that may be the cause of your problem.
