Scenario

Scenario 1: User accessing a server placed in different time zone

Trellix Intrusion Prevention System Central Manager (Central Manager) can access Managers spread across different geographical locations and time zones. If a Manager user is accessing Trellix IPS Central Manager, which is situated in a different zone, the time displayed is the client time zone and vice versa.

For example, Consider a Central Manager running at Eastern Standard Time (EST) that is, GMT-5 hours. There are two users: user1 and user2 accessing the Manager and Central Manager from their respective time zones. User1 is situated at GMT+5:30 hours, and user2 is situated at GMT -5 hours respectively. If the time at Central Manager is 2007-01-03 4.30.00 EST, the time displayed to user1 will be 2007-01-03 15:00:00 IST, while the time displayed to user2 will be 2007-01-03 4.30.00 EST respectively as the last retrieved time in the Home page.

Manager Time Zones

The time stamp format is displayed in yyyy-MMM-dd HH:mm:ss:z or when displayed in a tabular fashion as in reports, it is displayed as yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss:z

For example: 2007-Feb-21 17:52:50 IST or 2007-02-21 17:52:20 IST

Scenario 2: Manager Scheduler actions run at the server time zone

Consider a user who wants to schedule the Trend Analysis Report. The Manager server is placed in Eastern Standard Time (EST) zone, and the user is situated in Indian Standard Time (IST). If the user sets the date and time for the report to generate at 2007-03-03 12:00:00, the report will run at the Manager server date and time that is, 2007-03-03 12:00:00 EST. The scheduled report will have the server time, that is, EST in this example.

In general, scheduling triggered by the server considers the server time. For example, the Trellix IPS Update server messages, values in the Admin Configuration report etc. display the server date and time.

Note

If a user triggers a manual report generation, it will run at the client time zone.
