SQL Server BDC Hints and Tips: Changing Grafana/Kibana Display Time Zone


 

Moved from: bobsql.com

 

The Grafana and Kibana interfaces default to the local browser time zone on a SQL Server BDC cluster.  Some of my machines are in the PST time zone and others the CST time zone and I find myself doing math calisthenics trying to line up metric and log information.

 

Currently the SQL Server BDC cluster does not allow you change the default from local browser time (being worked on by the team) but you can temporally adjust Grafana or Kibana.  Here I highlighted how to adjust the time zone for Grafana and Kibana.
