Hi,
Is there any way to get the nagios.log file to have normal human readable time instead of UTC time for each entry ?
Thanks

I know about this site, but I want to know if nagios can have non utc time in the logs so when I trawl through it to debug certain events then it will be easier.

Not as far as I know. Nagios uses those logs for check results and historical data. There is a good change that converting them without leaving the originals intact would lead to severe breakage in historical reporting and check results. You could write a script that reads in the logs and outputs new files (named differently) with the time stamps converted to date time from Epoch.
