Ability to use a time zone other than the local time zone.

Open cazador481 opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

I would like to be able to set the timezone that Watson uses. Use case: I live in the eastern time zone, but the computer that I am using and have Watson running on is in the Pacific time zone. I would like to be able to input all my times in the Eastern time zone, I would also like to have the reports, and logs show the dates in the Eastern time zone instead of the Pacific time zone.

I tried to set the TZ env variable to US/Eastern but watson did not seem to use that information.

I think we need to make it explicitly configurable to solve your issue. Frames are stored as UTC timestamps and arrow is responsible for the locale formatting given python's timezone configuration I guess.

Do you have time to work on this?
