Accounting for Daylight Saving Time

The reporting function automatically compensates for changes in the length of a day due to the start or the expiry of Daylight Saving Time (DST). This adjustment is necessary when the beginning or end of DST occurs during a period when you are collecting data for a report.

To compensate for DST changes, the calculation mechanism adjusts the time at which data collection starts and the manner in which data is presented in the resultant graph of the data points. The collection period remains the length that you specify.

You are not required to make any modifications to your configuration to enable DST compensation.

The following examples use the U.S. dates and times for making DST adjustments. All examples are based on a 24-hour data collection period ending at 12:00, using a 24-hour clock. Data points are recorded hourly.
