Hi How can I set TimeZone for signoz?
p
@Muhammed Hussein Karimi Can you share in more detail what do you mean? Where do you want to set the time zone in SigNoz?
m
For logs and traces time is in utc how can I fix that?
p
@nitya-signoz for logs, is there are processor which can do this ? @Vishal Sharma Is there any such provision in our traces product or the time is decided by the otel instrumentation library/otel collector?
v
@Muhammed Hussein Karimi The timezone which is shown in SigNoz UI respects your browser/machine timezone. Why do you need to change logs/traces timezone?
m
My browser is not UTC
v
What time are you seeing in SigNoz UI? It should be local timezone
m
UTC
I changed the timezone of the database but it has no effect
v
Can you open this website and let me know your Time on Local Machine ? https://webbrowsertools.com/timezone/
m
Of course let me turn on my lappy🙂
That's UTC I have to checkout why, I think my browser privacy settings are preventing this
I turn off some of the security settings in firefox and problem fixed
inside about:config I have to set
Copy code
privacy.resistFingerprinting = false
I should be documented somewhere I was not able to find it out using search also lot's of persons want don't want that to be sent to sites, that's better to be server side
v
@Muhammed Hussein Karimi Right now SigNoz is self host so I don’t see any reason why it’s a privacy concern. Thanks for highlighting it, we will add it to our docs and take care of it when launching cloud version to public.

Thanks but that's global config in firefox (I don't know about Chrome or others) and that's not good
