Using Splunk's REST API to build aggregate reports, how do we view results in CDT with the correct time format?

[kpkvarma]

We are using Splunk REST API (search/jobs/export) to build aggregated reports.

Splunk server is in EDT, but we want to view the results in CDT. For that, we are using time filters in CDT as earliest_time="2016-06-21T09:00:00-05:00" latest_time="2016-06-21T09:59:59-05:00". The searches are running as per time range, but in the result, _time is populating in EDT with a different format like 2016-06-21 10:00:00.000 EDT

Is there a way to get this _time as per time zone of applied time ranges or any other way to populate _time in a regular Splunk time format like 2016-06-20T13:00:59.878-04:00?

Log into the web user interface as the user you are using to pull the reports, and set the user's timezone to CDT.
