Dear All,

I have my log_line_prefix set to
log_line_prefix = '[%d]%p %x %c[%l] %t %i'
in postgresql.conf

psql -c 'show timezone'
  TimeZone
------------
 US/Eastern

tail -2 omi_acps.log ; date
[sipsdb]20180 0 57ab7dcd.4ed4[11895717] 2016-08-25 15:32:45 GMT
SELECTLOG:  duration: 0.326 ms
[sipsdb]20180 0 57ab7dcd.4ed4[11895718] 2016-08-25 15:32:45 GMT idle in
transactionLOG:  statement: fetch all in "<unnamed portal 854341>"

My host is running EST time.

Postgres keeps log the GMT time.
I want to log EST time.  How can I do that?  Your help would be greatly
appreciated.

What is the value of log_timezone parameter?

Actually, I found the problem.  I missed the parameter log_timezone.  It
took by default as GMT.  I added log_timezone=US/Eastern and run
pg_ctl reload.

It works.
