LogScale supports the time zones listed in the table below, these are the time zones used in some of our Query Functions when using version JDK 17.

The time zone identifiers UTC and GMT can be appended in queries with an offset for example, timezone="UTC+02:00".

Time zone abbreviations are not supported as some of them have ambiguous or redundant meanings. An example of this is the CDT abbreviation which has multiple meanings:

match(file=timezones.csv,column=timezone,field=@timezone,include=longtimezone)

To resolve such ambiguities, you can map between unsupported abbreviated time zones to accepted time zones using a match expression. For example:

dateTime match {
    /CDT/ => findTimestamp(field=dateTime, timezone="UTC+10:30");
    * => findTimestamp(field=dateTime);
}

To maintain such a mapping in one place only, it could advantageously be turned into a saved query. For more information on how to create saved queries, see Saving Queries.
