Moving data to another host in another timezone

Asked by jerome

Hi guys,
I installed Graphite/Grafana as a proof-of-concept on a local machine here in Los Angeles (LA).
Since the powers-that-be liked it, we now want to host the G+G setup in our production site in New York (NY).
The time zone I currently use in local_settings.py is:
     TIME_ZONE = 'America/Los_Angeles'
The data is currently generated from NY, using NY time-zone times, and fed into the LA server.

If we want to move the existing data from LA to NY, can we just move the *.wsp files or do we need to do some kind of time conversion?

Thanks.

Hi Jerome,

You can just copy the files over. Whisper stores each datapoint with an epoch timestamp. The web UI (Graphite-Web) is what uses the TIME_ZONE setting.
