Change the time zone for reports in the console for Puppet Enterprise

  • Updated

Puppet Enterprise (PE) uses Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) as the default time zone for reports. You can change the default time zone to your own time zone.

Version and installation information

PE version: All supported versions

OS: Unix

Installation type: Any

Solution

You can change the time zone for reports displayed in either the console or Hiera.

In the console:

  1. Click Node groups and click the + next to PE Infrastructure group. Select the PE Console group, and then click the Classes tab.

  2. Under the class puppet_enterprise::profile::console, select the parameter display_local_time and in Value enter true.

  3. Click Add to node group and then click Commit 1 change.

  4. Complete the change by running Puppet on the primary server. You can do that in the command line by running puppet agent -t or by following steps in our documentation to run Puppet in the console.

In Hiera:

Note: These steps assume you’re using the default location for common.yaml. If you’re not, you need to modify these instructions.

  1. On the primary server, edit the file /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/data/common.yaml to add puppet_enterprise::profile::console::display_local_time: true to the end of the file.

  2. Complete the change by running Puppet. On the console node (the primary server), you can either run puppet agent -t in the command line or run Puppet on the node in the console.
