Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
There are two ways to handle logs and their timezone on the server.

  1. Use UTC timezone regardless of where the servers are located
  2. Use the local timezone of the server

Describe the solution you'd like
I want one configuration option shared across the zowe server in zowe.yaml which decides what timezone is used:

  • Local
  • UTC
  • UTC moved by certain time.

It's possible that this is already supported within logback and the change for API ML will happen only in the logback.xml

Describe alternatives you've considered
The current situation for API ML is that the logs are always in the UTC timezone
