OSX: 10.13.6 When I start NR I notice that the time in the log looks to be UTC and not my local time. Is there a way to change it to show local time? Here is a example: Pauls-mini:~ Paul$ date Sun Oct 21 06:38:35 EDT 2018 Pauls-mini:~ Paul$ node-red mudash.json 21 Oct 12:38:40 - [info] Welcome to…

The reason is that system times should ALWAYS be in UTC not local time. This reduces any time processing issues. Only convert to local time on display. On Linux systems - the system time will always be in UTC. You can set the timezone at the system level which will assist in conversions.

[image] TotallyInformation: The reason is that system times should ALWAYS be in UTC not local time. I think you have misinterpreted the question, the timestamps shown against messages in the node red log are normally in local time, on my systems anyway. In @zenofmud 's they are in UTC. Could …

OK, from the command line, run date to see what timezone the system is using. The command cat /etc/timezone will also show you. If the timezone is incorrect, run tzselect (not sure if that needs to be run as sudo) or, perhaps better, run sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata. You might need to try several …

If you look at the first post you will see that I did a 'date' right before runn NR - date shows the local date/time and NR shows the UTC date/time. The second post shows running on a Pi where both 'date' and NR show the date/time as the local date/time In addition my system log shows the local da…

Is there a solution to this problem? I'm running NR on Raspberry Pi. I'm in a +1 timezone: pi@raspberrypi:~ $ date Fri 18 Dec 10:26:28 CET 2020 pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cat /etc/timezone Europe/Warsaw Yet when I use Inject node and set it to run at 10:00, it will run at 11:00. When I send new Date() fr…

new Date() gives you the current time. For example 12:00 UTC is the same time as 13:00 UTC+1. It is the same time and that is what new Date() gives you. When you display it you can show it in whatever timezone you like, including the local timezone. However the Inject node assumes that you are e…

I'm not using Docker (it almost doesn't work on RPi 1B because of ARMv6). And I must admit that I ended up in this thread from Google and thought it's the same issue as mine though I'm focusing on NR editor and not the logs. As for new Date(), when I run it locally in my browser, it returns local, …

[image] Marooned: Debug response is "Date: Fri Dec 18 2020 10:33:56 GMT+0000 (Greenwich Mean Time)" , I would expect it to be the same as date command, so: Not 100% certain what you mean here. But at a guess, nodejs runtime is not the same as a browers. What node version do you have on the n…

[image] Steve-Mcl: Not 100% certain what you mean here. But at a guess, nodejs runtime is not the same as a browers. What node version do you have on the node-red server? I'm not saying NR runs on the browser. Well, it's Node-RED after all. I use node v12.19.0 Anyway, I found out that JS w…

Why is the time in the NR log not local time?

Hmmm... on my Pi the dates are the same:

pi@mqttpizw : ~ $ date
Sun Oct 21 07:03:10 EDT 2018
pi@mqttpizw : ~ $ node-red
21 Oct 07:03:25 - [info]
