Adding time zones to PATROL

You can use the /AgentSetup/timeZone configuration variable to define time zones that do not exist in the PATROL Agent time zone table. If you are using a system that runs in a time zone not recognized by PATROL, you can add the time zone and its offset to the /AgentSetup/timeZone variable. When the PATROL Agent finds the timeZone variable, it will add the contents to its time zone table and use the new time zone(s) data to calculate date and time.


Format and type of data

TimeZone/OffsetValue

TimeZone= the name of the time zone

OffsetValue = the offset value, in minutes, for the specified time zone. Begin the OffsetValue with a + or - sign.

Default value

NULL

Minimum and maximum

None

Dependencies

None

Recommendation

None



If you define the timeZone variable as TZ1/+200,TZ2/-100, the PATROL Agent recognizes TZ1 and TZ2 as time zone strings and will use their corresponding offset values for date conversion calculation. By default, the value of the variable is NULL.
