Hi danielbb,
I'm also a little bit confused, what's your question?
In internet you can find many sites with the timezones as wikipedia or worldclock or timeanddate.

On Splunk documentation, you can find some useful docs:

https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.3.1/Data/Applytimezoneoffsetstotimestamps
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.3.1/Search/Abouttimezones

Anyway, as you can see in the above documentation, you can use:

TZ = US/Eastern

Bye.
Giuseppe

I agree @gcusello, but according to List of tz database time zones

TZ = US/Eastern got deprecated.
