Pretty much every commercial storage appliance is set at the factory to
UTC. That's certainly true for EMC and NetApp storage devices.
(disclaimer: I did work at EMC for seven years.)
IMO, even storage appliances and SDS built with FOSS software should use
UTC. Honestly, why would anyone use anything else? It's an appliance,
not a general purpose computing device.
FWIW I set pretty much everything I own — at home and at work — to UTC
and use NTP. I set the local TZ in my shell and desktop clock of course.
I lobbied for the use of UTC in gluster logging a couple years ago, the
community agreed, and the change was made.
As for making it configurable, I have no objection to that. IIRC I had
no objection the last time the topic came up. File a BZ and submit a
patch. I have no reason to believe it would not be accepted.
Oh, and we should probably agree finally on the One True Timestamp
Format and change the source to use it!

I am not aware of any. Since this keeps coming up quite often, I think
it would be good to provide a configurable mechanism for specifying time
zones in log files.

I would like to add that all other log files /var/log/messages,
/var/log/syslog, /var/log/secure, etc... have the correct entries
using the local timezone. It is only the gluster log files that are
off by 5 hours.
Could someone point me in the right direction on configuring this?
This Gluster app resides on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.2
Thanks!

This has to be set up in the server based on what time format you
want.
I don't see any application dependency here.
