Changing Cube timezone

Hello,

If I change the windows server time from UTC to PST, will that break any of the scheduled events I have set up?

Is there an easier way to do this? Basically don't want to have to reschedule anything, but want the events to show in my timezone.

Thanks!

Hi Clayton,

DataMiner Cube will always show information based on the server time; so if you change the server time, the events' time will also change accordingly.

However, if your events are displayed using a dashboard or a low code app, the default behavior is to use the client's time zone. Here, you have the option to change to your client's time zone, see ClientSettings.json | DataMiner Docs.

To summarize :

  • Dashboards shows everything in the local timezone of the client pc (can be overridden using the above option)
  • Cube shows everything in the timezone of the DMA server
