The logs were generated in this time zone

This setting affects Microsoft IIS log files and any other log files which do not have a GMT offset.  Use this setting when log files are created in a different time zone than the time zone where the Firewall Suite machine is located, or if the Microsoft IIS server is not logging in the default, GMT.

Reports will be generated in this time zone

This setting affects log files which contain a GMT offset, and can be used to change the reported times.

You can also specify the time zone in which reports will be used. This ensures that your reports make sense to users outside the time zone where the log files are created.
