Fixes #7093: Include Timezone in Inventory

History

#1 Updated by Janos Mattyasovszky about 3 years ago

The Info of `date +%z` might be also of value, as this specifies the Offset to GMT, which sometimes overlaps with different TZ Names (like WEST and BST).

It seems that there is other problem which would better solved with that... Nicolas, do you remember which ones? Something related to reports?

It should be added in Rudder plugin extension:

- <RUDDER><TIMEZONE>

In fact, we certainly want :

- <RUDDER><TIMEZONE><NAME>CEST...
- <RUDDER><TIMEZONE><OFFSET>+02..

OFFSET is the most important (the one that we will use to display correct time).

Actually:

<RUDDER>
  <TIMEZONE>
    <NAME>blablab</NAME>
    <OFFSET>blabla</OFFSET>
  </TIMEZONE>
...
</RUDDER>

This information is not specific to Rudder, and should thus go in the <OPERATINGSYSTEM> anchor.

Something to take in account here is that timezones representation tend to differ between systems:

What I would propose in this case would be to have a mandatory attribute that contains the derivation from UTC, that is an actual consensus between all systems, and another one that would give the ISO8601 representation, as given by stfrtime %Z:

<TIMEZONE>
    <NAME>CEST</NAME>
    <OFFSET>+0200</OFFSET>
</TIMEZONE>

The NAME would use the Windows format on Windows machines: that is to be expected.
