Change Timezone in Nifi

michaelsilas — Fri, 06 Jan 2017 23:34:24 GMT

Hi,

When I use the Nifi User Interface, I notice that the time is always set to CST, but I live in EST.

Is there a setting that I can change to reflect my relevant timezone?

Best,

Michael

do you have NiFi installed on your machine locally, or is it on a server. It could be possible that NiFi is reflecting the time of the server on the UI.

I have it installed on my server, and the time on my server is the correct with the correct timezone.

the server where you have installed NiFi is setup to be in EST?

is it possible that the timezone was changed after you started Nifi, if possible try restarting the nifi, and it should update to the correct time zone.

I fixed it with something like this. I went into the bootstrap.conf file and added this argument: java.arg.8=-Duser.timezone=America/New_York

I tried "java.arg.8=-Duser.timezone=America/New_York". It does not work for me.
