Macro Variables and different timezones

minken · Post by **minken** » Wed Aug 22, 2012 3:09 am

I have a problem that i can't seem to slove even after looking trough the help sektions. The problem i have is that i have a computer in a different timezone and on that computer i need to check logfiles.The logfiles are produced everyhour in this format. logg-2012-08-21-09.txt Where the first number is the year then month then day and last hour.

So i do a file check test. put in logg-%YYYY%-%MM%-%DD%-%HH%.txt. Now this should work but the problem is that it doesn't why cause the macro variable seems to translate the %HH% to my own timezone and not the local timezone where the computer is at.

I have tested it with putting in the localtime instead of %HH% and then it work. I have also tried to change the regional settings for the folder but that doesn't work either. Also i have tried to make hour like this %HH[-1h]% but that don't work either. So any help to solve this problem would be appreciated.

HostMonitor doesn't translate date/time macro-variables according to timezone, specified on folder regional settings.
There are special list of variables, affected by regional settings:

Also, you cannot use [-1h] directive. Only [-1d] or [-1m] are supported:

On the other hand, you may use %NewestFile% macro-variable.
