User timezone

2 min read · Settings

Set your own time zone so that all times in ePulz.io match the clock where you are - in overviews, alerts and reports. The default zone is Europe/Bratislava. If you are in another country, change it on your first login.

Preferences and localization in settings - time zone and language selection
Preferences and localization section: time zone and interface language.

Where to set it

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Go to the Preferences & localization section.
  3. In the Time zone field, pick from the list. All standard world zones are available (IANA format), for example Europe/Prague, America/New_York, Asia/Tokyo.
  4. Click Save. The change takes effect immediately, you do not need to log out.

What the change affects

  • Times in the overview - "Last check", "Incident start", history charts and check tables.
  • Email and Telegram alerts - the time stated directly in the message text.
  • Quiet hours (the time when you do not want to receive alerts, for example 22:00 - 07:00) are evaluated according to your zone.
  • SLA reports - month and quarter boundaries are calculated in your zone. The monthly report for March contains exactly March according to your local time.
  • Heartbeat monitors (which check whether a scheduled task has run) - the "next expected run" is shown in your time.

Daylight saving time

The switch between summer and winter time is handled by ePulz.io automatically. We use the official world time zone database (IANA), which is updated whenever a country changes its rules. You do not have to do anything.

Travel tip: If you are briefly in another zone (a business trip, a holiday), do not change the zone. Keep your "home" zone so that reports and SLA calculations stay consistent and you always know what "the incident yesterday at 14:00" means.

A team with members in different zones

Every team member can set their own zone independently. The same monitor is seen by a colleague in Bratislava and a colleague in New York, each in their own local time. Alerts sent to both arrive on their own clocks.
