How to Retrieve Timezones List in Splunk React App

sanjai — Fri, 28 Feb 2025 07:37:35 GMT

Hi Splunkers,

I am currently working on a development activity with the Splunk React app and need to get the list of timezones from Splunk into my app.

From my research, I found that the list of timezones is located in a file called TimeZones.js at the following path:
C:\Program Files\Splunk\quarantined_files\share\splunk\search_mrsparkle\exposed\js\collections\shared\TimeZones.js

Questions:

How can I retrieve the full list of timezones from the TimeZones.js file?
Is there a way to get the timezones via a REST API?
Any other suggestions or thoughts on how to achieve this would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
Sanjai

Hi @sanjai

I believe you are on to the right thing here with `collections/shared/TimeZones`

If you have a look at /opt/splunk/share/splunk/search_mrsparkle/exposed/js/views/shared/preferences/global/GlobalSettingsContainer.jsx it references the same file, and this is the file which renders the user preferences and displays the Time zone dropdown.

Have a look at including that file (collections/shared/TimeZones.js) , or maybe copying it in to your app for the purposes of testing.

My paths are Linux based by the way, so might need updating for your environment.

Good luck!

Please let me know how you get on and consider accepting this answer or adding karma this answer if it has helped.
