Tried that yesterday and than I got the same error. Tried it just now and now it worked but did I get an error on the FTP client card. Weird thing here is that when I run the complete flow it gives me this error: ![Capture_954](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/c/2c310e05263c51b02371998cd95c5a260cb82257.jpeg) When I only test the FTP client card it works just fine but is the csv file unuseable. ![Capture_955](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/a/5a8eb1839786bbd3431e3b3708008db23574feb9.jpeg) When I try to export Excel (Base64) simple log is set to pause. ---

Hi Peter-Kawa, Okay, good to know. I have installed the latest versions of Better Logic and Simple log. ---

> [@Arie\_J\_Godschalk](#): > > show me a printscren of the automatercard please? How strange; when I ran the flow again, it did mention the flow name in the log… The automatercard mentions the flowname too now. 🤔 ---

Try the ftp card but without any spaces? Not sure if it matters, but thats my first thought. ---

Hey Arie, An other thingy with [the script v1.0.2](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-simple-sys-log-use-this-app-for-simple-sys-logging/77533/6) When I add logcards to flows per script, al error cards don’t contain the [error] token of the card it is connected to. So the error cards never trigger, while they go in error themselves because of the [unavailable] token. ![Screenshot from 2023-04-07 18-05-41](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/f/6ff9d6d4ea24023dfd0e7e8955ff81611b547e18.png) I added a ticket for this 😉 ---

Hi @Arie_J_Godschalk I am using the app to log events into a Synology NAS. I noticed that all timestamps are 2 hours behind on the real event time. Is it possible to change this in a setting that I was not able to find? Thanks in advance! Eddy ---

Pleae give me more info: How do you log? Whats you time zone? Any more info that can help, like NAS info. You have BLL installed i guess, whats the configured timezone (app settings of BLL) The whole reason i use BLL is to completly fix the timezone issues, and i haven’t had any issues with it yet, you would be the first. And i did extensive testing. It’s literally THE reason BLL is needed, so if there is something wrong with it, i need to fix that! Also, i use it to log to Synology NAS aswell, and have no issues. ---

I also checked using Papertrails from @Dijker and is does exactly the same. So I assume both apps arre using UTC time.

Hi Eddy, what does this BLL config tab `Locale / timezone` look like? Same as mine (also Dutch)? > ![Screenshot_20230409-194847_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/b/5bc7bbb9f9e62a2004b731d176aa6d9831578bac.jpeg) . . > [@Eddy\_Poot](#): > > I also checked using Papertrails and is does exactly the same. So I assume both apps arre using UTC time. Papertrails uses Homey time, which always _ **was** _ local time, but Athom decided a while ago every Homey should use UTC time. Papertrails is not adjusted to that situation, that’s why it shows UTC timestamps since (as far as I know) ---

Hi Arie, Peter, As you can see, the Locale/Timezone settings seem to be correct. The time of my phone is the same as the settings screen shows. ![IMG_217F3157A5D7-1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/b/8b6711a7e2b5d61ec8f64cb5884b82b2065a5bab.jpeg) Funny thing is that in the screen of the Simple (Sys) Log app the time is correct. Both apps are updating automatically and on experimental (test). How/where do I change the format for sending the logs? ---

> [@Eddy\_Poot](#): > > I have switched off Rfc5424 (IETF/NON-BSD) and now the time is correct. You’re welcome, thanks for the donation! Im not sure why, but Synology has a bug in it i think. One definition uses locale time (RFC3164 / the non-rfc5424) and i handle that with BLL (correctly i see 😉 ) However, as far as i could find, rfc5424 should use UTC: [RFC 5424: The Syslog Protocol (rfc-editor.org)](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5424#section-6.2.3.1) But Synology also has to be configured for which protocol is used, so perhaps you had the NAS on BSD (which is RFC3164)?
