VPLEX UTC Time Zone #2

Closed eschek87 closed 7 years ago

eschek87 commented 7 years ago

Hi,

is there a way to change the time zone in the data that comes from vplex? I tried to change the time zone in the graphite conf file, but it ignores the setting. I need to have the times in utc+1. Vplex is configured touse our ntp servers. If i opened the vplex performance monitor webfrontend it shows the data in our local time. Do you have an idea?

Regards, Stephan

You could setup Timezone in the dashboard setting in Grafana.

Do you mean this setting? It is already set to local browser time. But this did not change anything 2017-02-03 14_09_34-grafana - vplex

Yes, if you set this value not to local browser time it should show correct time. I use this setting for my VPLEX and it works. vplex vplex2

Weird...Now it is 14:32. With local browser time it show the last value one hour back. Wit UTC it goes 2 hours back. 2017-02-03 14_32_02-grafana - vplex

VPLEX displays date in UTC. Compare output of date command and last value in monitor file. vplex3

Yes sure. Both have UTC. That's why i ask if there is a way to add an hour...i thought this is possible with the graphite conf file local_settings.py but this changes nothing. Seems to ignore my setting. Maybe i will ask this on graphite site on github.

I have now set in local_settings.py and the system time of my ubuntu on utc. If i now use local browser time in grafana i got the right timestamps. Thanks for your help
