Using "moment" node. Not quite there

General
1

The MOMENT node is supposed to help with date/time formatting.

I am wanting to Human readable timestamp a message and write it to a file with other data.

This is the flow, and it nearly gets the right time:
Local date/time is (now) 2018 08 01 16:56
The output of the flow is the right date but the time is 06:56 (Not with the GMT offset.)
But the node has the settings set to the correct local time zone.

I had the same with setup at locale while on a normal console if I check "date" is ok.... just correct it with the adjustment in my case:

Just a note in case is usefull for you....

you can reformat the output at your wish as example:

Will return you as output example: mar. 02 ene. 02:34:47
More option check for linux command date on google or "man date" on a console.

Weirdly once I set the ddd DD MMM (etc) the time became correct.

All happy now.

Appreciated.
