Multiple Time Zones Support

AggreGate is a distributed system. In a large installation, different components may be deployed in several countries or even across several continents. Thus, AggreGate Server, system operators, and managed devices may all be located in different time zones. It is necessary to configure time zones properly when setting up the system. Once this is done, timestamps will be automatically converted during system operation.

• Server, user accounts, and device profiles have separate time zone settings.
• If custom values are not specified, users and devices are assumed to be in the server's time zone.
• When the server synchronizes the time of hardware device controllers, it takes into account the time zone difference.
• When events are loaded from the device and stored in the server's event history, the event's internal time is converted from the device time zone to the server time zone.
• In any AggreGate Server's user interface, all timestamps are shown to the operator in his own time zone.
• By default, time zone values are taken from operating system settings.
