To set a time zone for your installation, set the following variable to your region, as specified in this list of TZ database time zones:
SYSTEM_TIME_ZONE=<tz database entry>
To set a time zone for logs, set the following variable to your region:
LOGS_TIME_ZONE=<tz database entry>
Examples are US/Eastern, Australia/Sydney, Australia/NSW, and America/Los_Angeles. The default is US/Eastern.
The Hyperscience platform uses both UTC and the time zones you set during installation in the ".env" file:
- SYSTEM_TIME_ZONE specifies the time zone that is used in the UI.
- SYSTEM_TIME_ZONE is used for start_time and complete_time in the API output for submissions.
- LOGS_TIME_ZONE specifies the logs time zone.
- The /admin section is in UTC.
We recommend keeping the database time zone in UTC to avoid unexpected time zone behavior in the system.
