Understand How Time Zones Affect Search Results

Searches for events in a time range are based on the timestamps of matching events and use the time zone of the local browser by default. You might need to account for the time zone offset from UTC and from other time zones, including Daylight Savings Time.

You can configure Search results to adjust the time for events to a specific time zone. For example, it’s possible that you might create a search while in a one time zone, then view the search from a different computer set to a different time zone. When this occurs, the Events Histogram converts the time segments to the specified time zone. If the Events table includes a time attribute, Search converts the time. However, the aggregation reflects the original time zone. For example, if the Events Histogram has seven bars in the original time zone, the number of bars could increase or decrease to reflect the currently specified time zone.
