Converting Dates and Times to Your Local Time Zone

If your log files are from a server in a time zone other than your own, you can have NetTracker convert the times that appear in the NetTracker reports from the server’s time zone to your own time zone.

This option is not available for all log formats. It is available for server logs in NCSA or Netscape Flexible format. Server logs in W3C Extended format already log times in Greenwich Mean Time. By default, NetTracker will convert the times in W3C Extended logs to the local time of the computer on which it is installed.

Note: The time zone must be set appropriately on the computer where NetTracker is installed.

To convert dates and times to your local time zone:
  1. Click the Options tab.
  2. In the left-hand panel, click Advanced under Main.
  3. Select the Convert dates and times to local time zone check box.
  4. Click Save Options.
  5. Dates and times will be converted to your local time zone in all new log file data you import. If this is what you want, click Continue. If you want dates and times to be converted in log file data you have already imported, you will need to delete all the data in your profile and reimport your log files. (Note: If you do not still have all the log files you have imported into this profile, you will lose data permanently by choosing this option.) To delete your profile data, click Delete Profile Data.

The change will take effect the next time the profile is updated.
