Graylog expects the timestamp in the syslog message to contain timezone information or defaults to UTC.

Hi, Thank you for the information. Actually fortigate device date format is “date=2017-09-18 time=14:15:05” and there is no an option to change the timestamp from the device. If we set our time zone into UTC the time will be changed within a huge gap. its not a good option for the vpn services and etc… are there any other solutions? ---

Raw/Plaintext UDP worked successfully for me while ago. Thank you very much for the support given. ---
