Change Timezone in Nifi

[#1]

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.

[#3]

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

[#4]

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

[#5]

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.
