Availability Time Settings
Orchestrator > Software & Setup > Setup > Availability Time Settings
Use the Availability Time Settings tab to configure business hours and time zones for your appliances. Orchestrator collects availability data based on each appliance’s time setting. The default business hour value is 24 hours, but you can customize the number of business hours in a day. For more information see Availability.
NOTES
-
The Date/Time template sets the time and time zone for the appliance. Make sure the proper Date/Time template is applied to the appliance. If the appliance does not have the proper template applied, business hours set on the Availability Time Settings tab will be inaccurate.
-
Reports are tied to calendar months (not the last 30 days) and calendar day boundaries.
-
Availability trends charts display data with the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) timestamp.
To set Availability Time Settings for an appliance:

Select an appliance in the table, and then complete the following fields as appropriate.
Field Description Time Zone Availability time zone for the appliance. Select one of the following:
