@premranjithj,

User time zone is just to present you results in your time zone but the searches will be still run on the server time. Please see below post more information!

@premranjithj,
Here is an example :

  • My server is set to Asia time (Singapore)
  • User settings is set to Alaska (US)
  • Time range selected for last 15 minutes at 9:44 PM

Time shown in _time : 7/26/18 5:44:23.356 AM

Time of events : 127.0.0.1 - admin [26/Jul/2018:21:44:23.356 +0800]

It would be user timezone.
Because, while search displaying the results user time will be considered. In the same way for scheduled alerts also user time will be considered.
