How To Set Time on 2.0 Appliance?

[rwright@pratt]

I am new and have finally got Zabbix up and it is monitoring some Windows servers. I have it sending email alerts now too so I am making progress.
I just noticed that the time is exactly 4 hours later - as shown in the status of triggers screen for example. How do I check / set the time and / or time zone so it shows the correct time? My concern is that this will affect the "working time" and the notifications will not be sent properly.
It would be great if I could edit this in the GUI somehow. Maybe put it in administration / general / working time. It could show the current date / time / time zone and then allow you to change that along with the "working time" settings.
Just a suggestion!
Any help for setting the date and time is greatly appreciated.

My first suggestion would be to make sure you have timezone set correctly.

Two places to look. Login to linix for both:

1. Start yast and pick "system" on left, "Date and Time" on right.

2. Edit /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini. Update the timezone in this file and save.

As long as you are in yast, I would also change the network inferface so that it's it is "Internal" as far as the firewall is concerned.

As I mentioned I am totally new to this so forgive me for asking basic questions like this but thanks for your reply!

I made the change in yast and now the time shows correct there.
I edited the ini file using nano. The date.timezone was 'UTC' but is now 'America/Indiana/Indianapolis'

The status of the triggers page still shows the time being off by 4 hours. Do I need to restart the server or is there another command I need to run?

Thanks for the reply!

I went ahead and rebooted the server and now the time is correct.

Thanks again!
