Can you help us with our DB_Connect timestamp timezone issue?

Hi,

I am having some issues indexing a database.

We are using a database column as a timestamp for events. This "DateTime" column is is UTC time so we added a line in props.conf to specify time format TZ=UTC (we are using CET time).

When we check the events _time field shows us UTC time for that event, so it seems props.conf is not working.

Any idea about this issue?

Best regards
