Time Zone

To set a time zone for your installation, set the following variable to your region, as specified in this list of TZ database time zones

SYSTEM_TIME_ZONE=<tz database entry>

To set a time zone for logs, set the following variable to your region:

LOGS_TIME_ZONE=<tz database entry>

Examples are US/Eastern, Australia/Sydney, Australia/NSW, and America/Los_Angeles. The default is US/Eastern.

The Hyperscience platform uses both UTC and the time zones you set during installation in the ".env" file:

  • SYSTEM_TIME_ZONE specifies the time zone that is used in the UI. 

  • SYSTEM_TIME_ZONE is used for start_time and complete_time in the API output for submissions.

  • LOGS_TIME_ZONE specifies the logs time zone.

  • The /admin section is in UTC.

We recommend keeping the database time zone in UTC to avoid unexpected time zone behavior in the system.
