Configure the Time Zone and Format in a Report

Configure time zones and formats for reports in Cortex XSOAR 6.13.

You can set the time and date format, and a time zone for report widgets by adding a server configuration. When this is not specified, the time/date format and time zone are the local time and location when the report is generated.

Note

Most out-of-the-box reports, time zone and time formats in a widget cannot be changed unless you copy the report. Some reports, such as Open Incidents, include a title widget, which include the date the report is generated. The report is generated according to the system default. You can change the system default by going to the Time Configuration section (Settings → ABOUT → Troubleshooting).

1. Go to Settings → About → Troubleshooting.
2. In the Server Configuration section, click Add Server Configuration.
3. Add the following keys and values:

   Key	Value
   reports.time.format	The time/date for your report widgets. For example: 02 Jan 06 15:05 GMT Thursday, 02-Jan-06 15:05 MST 2006-01-02T15:05:10Z07:00 Note Layouts must use the reference time Mon Jan 2 15:04:05 MST 2006 to show the pattern with which to format/parse a given time/string. For more examples, see Time Formatting in Go Language.
   reports.time.zone	The time zone 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)

4. Click Save.
5. Restart the Cortex XSOAR server by running the following command:

   systemctl restart demisto

For example, the following table shows the default configuration (Tue, 28 December 2021 06:25:36 UTC).

We add the following reports.time.format server configuration:

2006-01-02T15:05:10Z07:00

The table now shows the following data:
