Zone names: Time zone names ('z') cannot be parsed.

Some more digging found that DateTimeFormat can deal with Z  which is
either the offset or the timezone id, in particular as ZZZ.

http://joda-time.sourceforge.net/apidocs/org/joda/time/format/DateTimeFormat.html


Zone: 'Z' outputs offset without a colon, 'ZZ' outputs the offset with
a colon, 'ZZZ' or more outputs the zone id.

That's why I am asking "how to get the numerical offset printed in the
log files". Logstash can parse the numerical value. Otherwise I will
always have a parsing error in Logstash. We could live with this but if
it is possible I'd like to change this on the Postgres level. But I
never thought that this is much more complicated than expected.

From the above link:

Z time zone offset/id zone -0800; -08:00; America/Los_Angeles

So DateTimeFormat does understand names, though not necessarily abbreviations which is what z is for. The Logstash match is supposed to understand what DateTimeFormat parses.



The timezone names in Postgres are available from:

select * from pg_timezone_names ;

So in addition to Tom's suggestion, you might try setting the
log_timezone to a name. Examples: Europe/Brussels for CEST, Etc/UTC
for UTC


As far as I understand the log_timezone configuration option, it will
always print me the name if I use a name for the time zone. And that is
the no go for Logstash. So I really need a numerical value to parse it
with Logstash.
