problem with span command in splunk 7.2

Hello every body
I have been struggling with a serious problem recently
my splunk version is 7.2
when I use span Command (with tstats or bin ) , it starts from half hour ! instead of hour
for example :
| tstats count as count from datamodel=Log where Log.FinalStatus!=61 by _time span=1h

I have picture below as result , while I want time sections like 10 , 11, 12 ...

what should I do ??
Thank you

Internally Splunk is using UTC time and you have shift from it 3,5h which is used when splunk shows times.
Probably the best option is ask from splunk support if there haven't been any Indians who can help you (if I recall right at least Pune has this timezone)?

_time is usually stored as number of second since start of epoch in utc - all span does is that the time value back to the start of the current time bucket (still in utc). When you display the time it is local format, hence the half hour boundary differences in your case. You could try displaying your times in utc or potentially make the adjustment when the events are indexed or petition your government to change their time zone settings so they align with hours rather than half past or move 😀
