Problem

I hope the time zone can be Asia/Shanghai, but the logs printed from the vector aggregator console and the data stored in the clickhouse are still in UTC world standard time. I tried the American/New York time zone but it still hasn't changed

Configuration

sources:
      kubernetes_logs:
        extra_namespace_label_selector: huisebug.io/logging-system=enabled
        timezone: Asia/Shanghai
        namespace_annotation_fields:
          namespace_labels: ""
        node_annotation_fields:
          node_labels: ""
        pod_annotation_fields:
          container_id: ""
          container_image: ""
          container_image_id: ""
          container_name: container_name
          pod_annotations: ""
          pod_ip: ""
          pod_ips: ""
          pod_labels: ""
          pod_name: pod_name
          pod_namespace: pod_namespace
          pod_node_name: ""
          pod_owner: ""
          pod_uid: ""
        type: kubernetes_logs
      vector_metrics:
        type: internal_metrics

@huisebug The timezone config on sources just configures how Vector reads timestamps that are missing a timezone. Internally in Vector, all timestamps are recorded as UTC. I think what you want is to be able to configure the timezone that Vector writes the timestamps using. This is an outstanding feature request: #18158. I'll close this one in-lieu of the feature request. Feel free to follow along there are add additional thoughts.
