Zabbix Dashboard Time Shifted

[bberger]

Hi,

The time shown on the web interface on my Zabbix server dashboard at the bottom of the various tables is incorrect (next to Updated: ). It is shifted 4 hours later than the time on my server given by the date or hwclock commands. Is there someplace to adjust this time or can anyone tell me where zabbix gets this time?

Regards,

Have you correctly set date.timezone in /etc/php.ini
to your world location?

Thanks! That was precisely the problem.
I edited /etc/php.ini. The variable is:

date.timezone

Originally it looked like this:

date.timezone = UTC

and I changed it to this:

date.timezone = America/New_York

I'm not sure if it will stay correct following the time change this fall but for now it is reading correctly. One more thing... once I made this change in the php.ini on the server I had to reload httpd with:

/etc/init.d/httpd reload

I'm sort of curious as to why this would not just use system time. Does this have something to do with proxies? Thanks again!
