Timezone problem with the {{date}} helper

[Teckinfor]

Hello,

I want to display a time thanks to a timestamp but unfortunately, I always have an hour difference with the local time.

The time and the timezone of my dashboard and my VM are correctly configured

For example, 1678210200000 gives 18:30 instead of 17:30.

Thanks in advance Kind regards,

@Teckinfor I double-checked using the Static Data Source, and the date is displayed correctly for my EST timezone.

I need more details to investigate further. Alternatively, you can implement your own Handlebar handlers to display the timestamp to validate.

After more testing, it seems that the fact that my timestamp is already in GMT+1, the panel also makes +1. And therefore that the time displayed is one hour ahead.

@Teckinfor What kind of Data Source do you use? Can you return timezone?

Data Sources and Panels expect data to be in the UTC timezone or return timezone as a part of the time. Then it will be converted correctly to the browser timezone in Grafana.

Let me know if there is anything else.
