Problem description

if you create a user and set the timezone from UTC to something else and update the user the message "user has updated" was shown in green bar, and it is displayed on the page.

But after reload or leaving the side it is switched back to UTC

Steps to reproduce the problem

  1. create user
  2. set timezone to something other than etc
  3. "update user"
  4. reload the page

Environment

  • Graylog Version: 2.0.3 (OVA)

I can reproduce this neither in Graylog 2.0.3, nor on current master (2.1.0-SNAPSHOT).

It took me a while to reproduce it, apparently it only happens for some time zones in the etc section. This is the error message in the server logs:

2016-06-21 18:25:48,636 ERROR: org.graylog2.shared.rest.resources.RestResource - Invalid timezone 'Etc/EST', ignoring it for user new.

The correct one according to http://joda-time.sourceforge.net/timezones.html would be EST instead of Etc/EST.

Also regarding https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones. Currently we store all time-zones that don't belong to an area into Etc.

@edmundoa
Do not add Etc area to time zones without area 
Adding Etc is incorrect and fails when parsint the zone in the server.
Instead we are adding an unclassified section for organisational purposes,
where we can place all time zones without area.

The area is now removed from those entries in the dropdown and will not
be send to the server.
