Is there any way to view client times in a different timezone than the system timezone? The system I'm monitoring is running in PST, but my client is in CST as I'm remote. Since the logs and all other analysis is done in PST I'd prefer to see timestamps within dynatrace client in PST, but there seems to be no way to configure that.
Thanks

David,
To change the dT client timezone, follow these steps:
1. Under your dT client installation directory (e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\dynaTrace\dynaTrace Client 4.1.0), there is a file named dtclient.ini.template. Copy this file and name it to dtclient.ini
2. Edit the .ini file and add the option -Duser.timezone=America/Los_Angeles as the second last entry in the file. Save the ini file.
3. To launch the dT client with this ini file, run the following command from the cmd prompt
C:\Program Files (x86)\dynaTrace\dynaTrace Client 4.1.0\dtclient -ini "C:\Program Files (x86)\dynaTrace\dynaTrace Client 4.1.0\dtclient.ini"
The above steps will change the timezone for you.

Summary.
1. Select your timezone from here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_...
2. Add -Duser.timezone=YOUR TIME ZONE to dtclient.ini file.
3. Make sure you added before -Deof=eof.
4. Make sure you renamed the dtclient.ini (must be dtclient.ini not dtclient.ini.template)
5. Run dtclient with command dtclient -ini dtclient.ini

Sanjay's Tip is very important the parameters -Duser.timezone=GMT should be added before -Deof=eof.

In addition to Asad's suggestion,
In Windows, there's also a copy of dtclient.ini stored under your user profile directory:_C:\Users\user1\.dynaTrace\dynaTrace 4.1.0_
Editing this file will only affect your logon and doesn't require -ini option to be passed every time you start the client.
