Description
This article describes time-related fields in FortiAnalyzer.

Solution
The FortiAnalyzer (FAZ) has four time-related log fields: date, time, dtime and itime.

itime is generated by FAZ when it receives a log (with SQL enabled) i.e. FAZ local time.
dtime is calculated by FAZ in UTC  using 'data' and 'time' fields received from the FortiGate.

SQL:             Only dtime and itime are inserted into sql tables.
GUI:             GUI 'Date/time' column is calculated based on itime
Raw Logs:    FAZ Raw logs include all four fields.

FAZ logs:
itime=2014-12-29 15:35:09 vd=root rcvdbyte=4831 srccountry=Reserved app=HTTP transip=172.17.97.181 logver=52 date=2014-12-29 dstip=91.209.8.22 duration=23 sentbyte=578 transport=50925 group=SSO_Guest_Users service=HTTP proto=6 user=guest devid=FGVM010000016443 poluuid=d2f8f562-8fa2-51e4-e6a8-32600e0bd677 dstport=80 type=traffic devname=FGTVM52 dtime=2014-12-29 15:35:07 trandisp=snat sessionid=91254 itime_t=1419896109 policyid=5 srcintf=port2 srcip=192.168.1.205 offset_idx=139690533087533 sentpkt=6 level=notice appcat=Not.Scanned srcport=50925 logid=13 subtype=forward rcvdpkt=7 dstcountry=Bulgaria time=15:35:07 action=close dstintf=port1

In SQL reporting, these fields have a built-in function to convert the long integer into human readable time format:
  -  from_itime(itime)
  -  from_dtime(dtime)
