Is the time/date/timezone correct on the management computer? I suspect the GUI is "converting" the log date/time stamp values to the local time on management computer.

Confirm the time zone is set up correctly on your fgt, also you may need to enable/disable daylight saving time.

Thanks Dave,

But it seems everything is fine .

daylight was enabled by default and didn't change anything.

 

I could see the correct time on fortview, but not in any of the logs.

Thanks Dave for the new information.

It's really helpful while doing troubleshooting related with logging issues.

But in my case, timezone of both fgt and my laptop were same.

 

Anyways, It seems issue has been resolved itself :)
