Hi ,
We are working on a clustered environment, having multiple apps all running on default server timezone (Europe/London). Each app has respective user roles defined. And we fetch data from MQs and databases in UTC zone. In one of the apps, we need to show all dashboard panels with time fields as per America/NewYork.
Since there are multiple users who login , also these users who have multiple roles (of various apps ) assigned to them , we are facing issues to achieve this.
I have tried below options but nothing seems to work.
Setting Time-zone Role wise, as per the sample provided in the link below,
https://answers.splunk.com/answers/439363/how-to-set-a-default-timezone-for-an-entire-multis.html
Even though we set time-zone at role level, since for a user, time-zone parameter is set to default ( i.e., server time-zone), this causes role level time zone to be overridden by user level time zone.
Changing time zone at user level is tedious as every-time user switches between the app, he needs to change the timezone setting.
Adding the difference offset to time field during display on dashboard using eval. Not recommended as during daylight saving offset varies.
Please do suggest if there is any alternative to achieve app level timezone?
Thanks in advance !
