User time zone

2 min read

Set your own time zone so that every timestamp in the dashboard, alerts and reports matches your location. The default is Europe/Bratislava.

Where to change it

1. Open Settings
2. Section Profile
3. Field Time zone - a dropdown with every IANA zone (~600 entries, e.g. Europe/Prague, America/New_York, Asia/Tokyo)
4. Pick one and save - the change takes effect immediately

What it affects

• Timestamps in the dashboard - "Last check", "Incident start", history charts
• Email and Telegram alerts - the timestamp in the message body
• Quiet hours - the window (e.g. 22:00-07:00) is applied in your TZ (see the Quiet hours guide)
• SLA reports - the date boundaries of months / quarters are calculated in your TZ
• Heartbeat schedule - cron interpretation stays in UTC (heartbeats are UTC-based), but the "next expected" display is shown in your TZ

Details and notes

• Daylight saving time is handled automatically - we use IANA zoneinfo (updated every year)
• Internally every timestamp in the database is stored in UTC. The TZ is applied only when rendering UI and emails.
• The default for new users is Europe/Bratislava (because we are a Slovak SaaS). You can change it at any time.

Tip

If you travel and stay briefly in a different zone, do not change the TZ - keep your "home" zone so that reports and SLA calculations remain consistent. You will always understand what "yesterday's incident at 14:00" really means.
