Wrong time shown in Logging & Reporting

i think one time is UTC and the other one your local time.

I've not seen this before and just checked mine by comparing the same two spots you have posted.

Mine are matching times.

I'm sure that's what it is but I cannot get the times to match.

This is weird. I'll try a fresh install and not add my backup to the root of the USB so that it does not auto restore.

One thing that comes to mind is that maybe I had the Host is UTC time ticked when I originally installed the UTM, years ago, and that is some how messing up the time. Does anyone know if there is a file that can be checked or edited manually?

I get the following so the system is set to local time, not UTC:

gateway:/root # date
Tue Jun 7 19:46:10 EDT 2022

gateway:/root # cat /etc/adjtime
0.000000 1654645037 0.000000
1654645037
LOCAL

I'm thinking there must be a Sophos file, somewhere, that still has the system listed as UTC.

UPDATE:

Now I'm thinking this is a bug of some sort because I get the same results on fresh installs of 9.711-5.1 without restoring my backup.

I’m surprised no one else has reported encountering this issue. I have tried numerous fresh installs, with the latest iso (9.711-5.1), on three different boxes and I get the same results every time. It does not matter if I keep the Host is UTC ticked or untick it during installation. The displayed times in the Logging & Reporting graphs are always wrong ( 4 hrs. ahead). The only way that I can get those times to match the actual local time and to match the time displayed in the Dashboard is to set the time zone in Management->System Settings -> Time and Date ->Set Timezone to Etc/UTC but it should be set to America/New_York.

Below are my settings:

Shouldn't all of the following statements be true when considering the settings depicted in the image directly above:

1. My current time, in my location (EDT) is 9:43 AM.
2. The RTC (BIOS) clock is 9:43 AM.
3. The clock on the Dashboard should be 9:43 AM.
4. The time displayed on the far right of the Logging & Reporting graphs should be 9:43 AM or thereabouts.

What do you guys select when you install? Do you leave everything set to defaults and change the time later in the webadmin? Do you untick the Host is UTC time setting?

UPDATE 2:

Now I'm at a total loss. I've downloaded several UTM ISO's, of previous versions, and I got the same results with every install going back to v9.105.

Is your time zone set to Etc/UTC? That is the only way that I get get the times to match.

My time zone is Central.

When I do an install, I make sure the BIOS is correct first (or as close to it as possible) and select my normal time zone when installing.

I'm wondering if you don't have some sort of BIOS issue going on with your machine, the BIOS battery is bad/dead or maybe your ISP has got some kind of issue with NTP protocol that is redirecting traffic somehow (I know this last one is a long shot, lol) but something is interfering.

Have you also double checked your NTP pool to make sure its accessing NTP?

I've tried four different machines, now. I set my time in the BIOS to my current, local time. I select my correct  timezone when installing. I tried leaving Host is UTC ticked and unticked. I have tested NTP. It comes back 1ms to 4ms so it is working. Keep in mind the time is correct everywhere else except for Logging & Reporting. Only Logging & Reporting is UTC.

I feel so stupid now. It never entered my mind to check client-side.

A few months ago, I enabled privacy.resistFingerprinting in most of my Firefox browsers. With that enabled, Firefox tells all websites, "I'm in the UTC time zone".

Disabling that fixed the issue.

Thanks for the responses, guys!
