@manimurugesan, Most likely you need to adjust the timezone in the /etc/php.ini file. Open the file with a text editor and change:

date.timezone = Europe/London

Save and exit. Then restart apache with:

service httpd restart

Also, open the Admin menu and make sure that you have the right timezone under Timezone Settings.

@manimurugesan, I believe the scheduled downtime is correct but there is a display issue in Nagios XI - somehow the timestamps are not converted properly. Let's try to verify it. Log in the Nagios Core interface:

Code: Select all

http://ip address/nagios

click on the "Downtime" link under the "System" menu on the left, and check the downtime. Are start and end times correct? If they are, this means that we have a display issue in XI, which our developers will be fixing as soon as they can.

One more thing...

System Time Zone is London, But scheduled downtime is showing in IST please find the screenshot

What is your computer time? Is it IST? The entry/start/end time is converted in Nagios XI to your computer time. If you changed your desktop's time to London time, these values should show up correctly.

Note: In a future, we will be adding an option to select localtime or server time. It would be less confusing.

"date.timezone is proper in /etc/php.ini file"
==> date.timezone = Europe/London

"@manimurugesan, I believe the scheduled downtime is correct but there is a display issue in Nagios XI - somehow the timestamps are not converted properly. Let's try to verify it. Log in the Nagios Core interface:"

==> Downtime time is proper as per London Time


"What is your computer time? Is it IST? The entry/start/end time is converted in Nagios XI to your computer time. If you changed your desktop's time to London time, these values should show up correctly. "

everything is configured properly as u mentioned properly.

The only difference is the recurring downtime showing in IST apart from that everything in GMT London

Is your workstation in IST? If you are using Windows, click on the date/time in the bottom right and show us a screenshot. Where is the IST coming from? Did you run the "date" command on the Nagios XI server or on your workstation (in case you are using Linux)? I am just trying to get some clarification. Thank you!
