Timezone settings

[l4u]

Do I need to configure the timezone?
At the event feed, the timestamps are shown in my timezone (GMT+8).
But in the history, all the events are at 08:00:00.

Mh, timezones shouldn't be an issue, since the function which converts the unix (utc) timestamps to a human readable date runs on the client side / in your browser.

The reason all history events display 08:00:00 as creation time is a bug though: When fnordmetric queries the history events from the "timeline set" it doesn't fetch their creation dates for performance reasons right now (they are stored in another set). So the 08:00:00 is really just a zero timestamp. I guess we should either remove the date from the list if we don't have it or actually fetch it from redis. What do you think?

But there's something wrong though:

I'm in UTC+1, it's 10:04 now. I have a timeline widget with a data point at 9:00 which increases now. the 10:00 datapoint is still at 0, so somehow - at least the timeline widget - isn't respecting my local timezone.

I didn't look into the problem until now, but can anyone confirm what I'm seeing? (server and client timezone are the same)

Hey I am getting the same problem my timeline graphs are out by 2 hours. Is the a way to over ride the time zone that the graphs are using.

Finally I got some time to play with fnordmetric again. 😆
@paulasmuth I agree that we should add an option to allow fetching data from redis as well 👍
