Hello,

we are sending alarms through node-RED.  
But the time stamp is not proper.

See below red marked in screenshots

As well as see when I get an email , see red marked timings at top & bottom on email, both are different.

Are you running node-red on the same machine as the browser?  
How did you install node-red? Are you using Docker for example?

If you open a terminal to the docker instance, what time and timezone does the container report?

Alternatively ask yourself why you are using Docker. If you don't really know then possibly best not to. Instead install not-red using the usual [recommended route.](https://nodered.org/docs/getting-started/raspberrypi)
