Environment
Security Manager 6.0
Security Manager 6.5
Situation
How do I interpret time stamps in Web Console or the Control Center Console when agents are spread across more than one time zone?
What if my Security Manager agents are in a different time zone than my Central Computer?
What if my Security Manager agents are in a different time zone than my Central Computer?
Resolution
When an event / alert are stored in the database, they are stored in Universal Coordinated Time (UTC). As the Control Center Console or web console displays the events / alerts, the time is adjusted for the current time zone of the machine running the console.
Cause
When the Central Computer is in a different time zone than some or all of the agents, the agent events occur at a different time stamp than that of the CC.
