Configure the timezone in a report

Configure report timezones in Cortex XSOAR 8 SaaS.

By default, Cortex XSOAR uses the UTC timezone in all reports. You can set a different timezone in the report.

Note

For most out-of-the-box reports, timezone and time formats in a widget cannot be changed unless you copy the report. Some out-of-the-box reports, such as Open Incidents, include a title widget which shows the date the report is generated according to the system default timezone.

Configure the timezone for a specific report

You may want to configure the timezone for a specific report to align event timestamps with the local time zone of the team reviewing the report. This provides context for event timelines and facilitates better analysis and decision making.

For example, if your SOC team is based in New York but you need to generate a report for another team in London, configure the time zone to GMT to match the incident timestamps to the local time in London to make it easier for the London team to understand and respond to the events accurately.

1. For a new report, select Dashboards & Reports → Reports → New Report.

   To edit an existing report, in the Reports page, locate the report you want to edit and click the Edit button.
2. From the Time Zone dropdown list, select the timezone a specific report will display.
3. Click Save or Save Version.

   Save Version enables you to view a history of the changes made to your report. You can revert to previous versions of the report.

Configure the timezone for all reports

We recommend keeping the default (UTC) timezone for all reports and configuring the timezone for specific reports only. However, you can change the timezone displayed in all reports by adding a server configuration.

1. Go to Settings & Info → Settings → System → Server Settings → Server Configuration → Add Server Configuration.
2. Add the following key and value:

   Key	Value
   reports.time.zone	The timezone for your report widgets. For example: Australia/Melbourne Canada/Pacific America/Los_Angeles America/New_York Asia/Jerusalem Asia/Kolkata CET EST GMT Europe/Berlin Europe/Brussels UTC (Default)

3. Save the configuration.
