adjusting log date time by timezone offset

[TekBear]

I would really like a log viewer that can be configured to show (=convert) a log with UTC date time stamps to local date time stamps. For example the "folding at home" software logs are always UTC time but I really just want to view the log with log times displayed using my local time zone. Example of log file here: https://pastebin.com/zB6ZwKxV Some lines don't start with time stamp. Other types of logs perhaps from remote servers in another time zone may be prefixed yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss

I can see skimming the documentation there are ways to add a plugin log filter, or a custom log importer. Is it correct to assume that date time stamp conversion would have to be done by a custom log importer?

I looked at page https://github.com/otros-systems/otroslogviewer/wiki/DevelopingPlugins and the first link is https://github.com/otros-systems/otroslogviewer/wiki/ImplementLogImporter.md - that page looks messed up is it code or markup ??

I was looking at example on page https://github.com/otros-systems/otroslogviewer/wiki/BatchProcessing the "example" link "http://otroslogviewer.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/OtrosLogViewer-app/src/main/java/examples/ExampleLogDataParsedListener.java" does not exist (still readable at http://web.archive.org/web/20160505064016/http://otroslogviewer.googlecode.com:80/svn/trunk/OtrosLogViewer-app/src/main/java/examples/ExampleLogDataParsedListener.java) perhaps someone could fix that?

I know a litte java any example code would help me if I have to do this myself. Anyone know if this can be done with this log viewer?

@svennissel you have access to update the wiki, right? Seems like someone tried to applied an HTML table into the ImplementLogImporter.md file, at the bottom. My guess is that we just want to keep those 2 links to the other wiki pages there.
For the broken link in the BatchProcessing wiki page, the new link should point to: https://github.com/otros-systems/otroslogviewer/blob/master/olv-core/src/main/java/examples/ExampleLogDataParsedListener.java

@TekBear, I don't think you would be able to do the date/time conversion to local time zone using a plugin, especially not a log importer (anybody correct me if I'm wrong here, please). This sound more like a new feature and @svennissel already labeled this issue as an "enhancement" today, so hopefully we can start looking into it pretty soon. I know it's been a while since you opened the issue, but if you could stay tuned for possible questions we may have when implementing this feature, that would be great. It seems pretty straight forward but we never know :)

@svennissel It would be good if we can add this feature to milestone 1.5.0

[svennissel]

I put it into 1.5.0 milestone, but I'm not sure if we need this feature really.

Yes I have access to wiki. I fix it.

[TekBear]

@benlazaro Yes still interested in a solution.

I'd be interested in this feature as well!
