[Question #270659]: TimeZone Issue

 

New question #270659 on Graphite:
https://answers.launchpad.net/graphite/+question/270659

Hi All,

I have just installed graphite and I am doing some tests.

I have problems to understand how to display correct timestamps.

I am in "Europe/Zurich" timezone (UTC+2) and I am sending test values via TCP/IP using the example method  "date +%s" timestamp.

I set the following timezone configuration:
/opt/graphite/webapp/graphite/settings.py:TIME_ZONE = 'UTC'
/opt/graphite/webapp/graphite/local_settings.py:TIME_ZONE = 'UTC'

When I do a simple query like this via webapp:
http://${GRAPHITE_SERVER}/render?target=${NAME}&format=json

I get timestamp shifted in "UTC-5" (-7 hours from my localtime), I suppose "America/Chicago" timezone.

When I add to the URL the string &tz='Europe/Zurich' I gain 2 hours and come to -5 from my localtime.

It looks to me that Graphite is still using "America/Chicago" timezone , conversion and display but it believes to be in UTC instead.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks In Advance,
d4lamar
