Config: Time Zone

Comprehensive user manual for CySight Standard and Enterprise Editions.

Config: Time Zone

CySight collector can process multiple netflow streams from different routers/switches, which may be located in different time zones.

The CySight collector uses its own system clock to time stamp the flow data. Each distributed CySight collector's system clock must be aligned to the same time as the CySight Hierarchical server when multi-collectors are deployed.

The local servers time zone can be configured using the left menu "Configuration > Administrator > Site Configuration".
