Description

When advanced features are enabled you will see logs in /var/log/sys.log like the following for each advanced feature node as the node is starting up. The timezone specified in the log seems to indicate the wrong timezone but the Africa/Abidjan timezone is the equivalent of UTC time. So as long as your appliance is supposed to be configured with UTC then the timezone Africa/Abidjan is actually correct. In a future release the log content may change to show the actual UTC offset, which would be 0, to clarify a bit more what Africa/Abidjan corresponds to.
