Timezone conversion

[iogbole]

Add a timezone conversion feature.

Apigee SaaS uses UTC tz by default. This results in an error if the extension's host server is using a different timezone.

Desired outcome

Provide a timezone configuration option in the config.json that accepts either local or utc as values.

Where:

• local indicates that Apigee's timezone on the Apigee extension's host machine is the same as the Apigee server. This caters for on-premise deployment for Apigee.

• utc instructs the Apigee extension to use utc timezone. This caters mostly for Apigee SaaS customers because the SaaS version uses UTC by default. . When utc is set, add -u to all the date functions here - https://github.com/Appdynamics/apigee-monitoring-extension/blob/master/apigee_monitor.sh#L191-#L207

In summary:

local == onpremise Apigee

echo $(date +%m/%d/%Y+%H:%M:%S --date="+1 sec")  > "${timer_file}" 

And utc == SaaS Apigee

echo $(date -u  +%m/%d/%Y+%H:%M:%S --date="+1 sec")  > "${timer_file}"

I have done the initial first phase of this and it is being put through tests, before being released.

Completed so in config.json you can select

1) onprem This set the APIGEE interval to collect to localtime to where the server runs the script, but this server needs to be in the same local time timezone as the onprem apigee instance you are collecting against. 2) saas This sets the APIGEE interval to collect to UTC time, wherever the script is run from. This is because the SaaS APIGEE instance time is set to UTC.
