Graphite

Time (X) axis in wrong time zone

Asked by GDR!

Hello,

I have a problem with Graphite running for last 2 years. I have a Graphite server runing in GMT+1 time zone:

root@mon:/opt/graphite# date
Thu Jul 3 13:40:13 CEST 2014

and a Diamond (data collection agent) running in the same time zone:

root@alleceny:~/tmp# date
czw, 3 lip 2014, 13:40:40 CEST

yet all the graphs are plotted in GMT-6 for some reason and I don't understand why. The last data points I have on my graphs are from 06:35.

Where does Graphite or Whisper take the time zone info, is it generated locally or submitted by the external agents? Is there some setting I can tune?

To partially answer my question: Graph options -> X Axis -> Timezone, I typed "CET" and it showed the right one.

Until I pressed F5, of course.

So, the new question is: How do I set the default time zone of graphs?
