Technical Tip: Change time zone on a FortiSIEM

Step 1: View the Current Time Zone.

Look for 'Time zone:' in the output.

# timedatectl

Step 2: List Available Time Zones.

# timedatectl list-timezones

Step 3: Search from the available Time Zones list.

# timedatectl list-timezones | grep "America/N"

Step 4: Change the Time Zone.

To change the time zone to 'America/New_York', use either of the below methods to change the time zone.

# timedatectl set-timezone America/New_York

OR

# rm /etc/localtime
# ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York /etc/localtime

Step 5: Verify the current Time Zone.

# timedatectl

Step 6: Reboot FortiSIEM Appliance.

For the VM appliance, take a VM snapshot and then reboot the FortiSIEM appliance (Supervisor/workers/collector).

# phxctl reboot
