Show time is different for Dashboard and Statistics

dingguibin1 — Wed, 16 Jan 2019 06:24:02 GMT

Recently, I meet an interesting problem about show time. The show time is different for the Statistics and Dashboard. See my attachment files. In the table, the time is correct and this time is from my events from database. However, when I click the Dashboard, then the corresponding time is changed to another time, which is 8 hours earlier than in table. It's kind of strange. Could someone know how to fix this problem? Thanks a lot!

what is your Splunk server timezone? You probably are in PST and Splunk might be converting your time to PST(splunk server).

There are many time-based considerations and settings. I'm not sure exactly where your breakdown is but it may be as simple as you setting your own user's Time zone setting by going clicking on <Your Login> -> Preferences -> Time zone. Also read about more considerations here:

Thanks Woodcock! You are correct! I just follow your advice and change the Time zone in Preference. Finally, the problem has been fixed. Thanks a lot for your kindly support!
