Change server time zone
Hi, I noticed that the "System Status" plot on the home page and the "Statistical Plots" on the Status Monitor page seems always using UTC time instead of my local time zone setting of the OS. Is there any way to change this? Thanks, Kai

Not sure, if I get you here? Do you really want these statistical plots to adhere to your local time? If this is the case, then the answer is: Sorry, such a change would complicate matters and result in a too low or even *negative* score. Since your view would differ to others, a recalculation peak at 3300 at 10:30 would mean something different to anybody in a different timezone. How would you show these stats in the saving time switch phase, if one hour (or whatever..) repeats? OBS is a great tool to be used around the world, and using UTC everywhere is the only sane way to deal with it. Hence: sorry. Best, Pete

Please say less about what YOU think is good, discuss the technical question instead. BTW, If you indeed care about "global collaboration", you will know that not all countries in the world uses daylight saving time. Some country don't, some did but don't now. In fact only a small part of the world still use it. BTW 2, do you use UTC time in your desktop OS and normal life? If you don't, then you already have the idea. BTW 3, there is a thing called "private instance". Regards, Kai
