Classic Dashboards in UTC

[hansonj23]

Is there an easy way to set the classic dashboards to UTC time?  I can make everyone do the math and subtract 5 hours but that's not very user friendly.

A little background: we have a report that users get from an export of dynatrace data we pull from the API.  The report is using the UTC timezone (which we feel is a consistent standard we want to stick with).  When consumers of the report want to tie these back to their classic dashboards in dynatrace, the dashboards are using local timezone and therefore the numbers never quite match up, causing confusion.  We can tell them to adjust the time but it would be nice if they could just switch it to UTC.

strongly recommend this feature, it will add more flexibility & accuracy when reporting dashboards and APIs, can i use it as a product idea ?

Thanks,

Hello @hansonj23 

• As long as it's not shown as a built-in product feature you can check the workaround customizing the JSON file and it will apply the changes upon saving.
• another solution is to download the JSON and upload it again after applying the required customizations.

If you're not interested in trying workarounds and alternative solutions feel free to raise a  Product Idea and hopefully it will be considered.

KR,
Peter.
