Different Timezone for reports

Hi

 

Is it possible to define a different timezone for a report?

Right now it will always use the timezone of the fortianalyzer.

 

We want to send reports to branches in different timezones, and use their local time in the report.

And also use a specific local time range, like 'yesterday'.

Hi Sander, what's your faz version? From 5.2.2, you don't have to worry about local DB issue, system will do it for you. For your question, I think it can be done by XML APIs. "setFazConfig" will allow you change timezone, "runFazReport" will generate a report for you. If you are not familiar with it, please contact our local SE.

Hi Sander,

 

It is not possible to do it on GUI. Since the local DB server has to be restarted when you switch timezone, you have to manually select it before report running.

Hi hz

 

So you suggest, changing the timezone of the FortiAnalyzer, restart local DB Server and then generate the report and change it back to the original timezone and restart the local db again?

 

Would you use the FortiManager to run such a script on the FortiAnalyzer?
