Description of problem:

Set Tag Expiration to a specific date, in the logs, it's always "Tag xx set to expire on 1/1/1970, 8:33:46 AM", this is Splunk related. in default database log module, it works fine.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Quay 3.17

Steps to reproduce:

1. Push a tag to a repository
2. Change tag Expiration to any time,
3. Check repository log and super user Usage Logs page 

Actual results:

it correctly set the Expiration on UI, but in org/repo Logs and usage log, also show: Tag redis set to expire on 1/1/1970, 8:33:46 AM,

 

old_expiration_date also wrong

this is Splunk raw data:

2/13/26
3:28:34.000 AM                                                {"account": "quayorg", "datetime": "2026-02-13 03:28:34.805125", "ip": "10.128.2.18", "kind": "change_tag_expiration", "metadata_json": {"expiration_date": "2026-02-13 17:00:00", "namespace": "quayorg", "old_expiration_date": null, "repo": "quayrepo", "tag": "redis", "username": "quay"}, "performer": "quay", "repository": "quayrepo"} 

looks "expiration_date": "2026-02-13 17:00:00" here timezone issue? I am setting "2026-02-14 1:00 AM". Both ocp cluster and Splunk is in us-east-2
