Every time an alert gets logged, the date is from 1969. I've checked
the date from the server, and everything seems ok: # date

What kind of alert logging are you using? sql? syslog? fast? full? unified? unix socket?

The time output for each of these is implemented a bit differently.

fast and full both seem to use ts_print() from util.c.

Database outputs seem to use GetTimestamp() from plugbase.c

Unified seems to dump it in raw binary.

Syslog seems to not bother, relying on syslogd to add it.
