Query for different timezones

I have imported data with daytime in GMT time zone.

I need count events group by on variable interval (day,week or month) . I use a search query like this:

<mysearch>|
bucket _time span=1d | stats count as newUsersForPerido by _time

And this return counts over every day on GMT timezone.

Now I need to use this query in different time zones for example UTC+03:00 and UTC-04:00 how I can modify my search string?

The easiest way is just to adjust _time like this:

... | eval _time = _time + (3*60*60) | bucket _time span=1d | stats count as newUsersForPerido by _time

Be sure to also adjust your timepicker to be 3 hours earlier on both sides so you pull in the correct events.

Also, you can adjust your user settings at Your User Name -> Edit account -> Time zone to put in different values. This setting controls the normalization of the timepicker when you pick settings that are date-relative (e.g. Today, Last 7 days, etc.).

In which timezone are the events generated? Are they all GMT?
