How to specify timezones for World Clock in Bosun?


How should I specify timezones for Word Clock in Bosun config?

I think there was some parameter for that but I can't find reference in docs for that.


Solution

  • The configuration parameter for the worldclock links is timeAndDate. Note this ONLY controls the links generated when displaying datetimes and doesn't control Bosun's timezone, which is hardcoded to UTC.

    In the code:

    TimeAndDate []int // timeanddate.com cities list

    So our config file looks like:

    timeAndDate = 202,75,179,136

    Which adds Portland, Denver, New York, and London to the datetime links generated in alerts:

    timeanddate.com

    See http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter-about.html for how to get a list of Cities, and then you will find the p_=### codes in the URL that you can add to your Bosun config.

    I've created an issue in the github issue tracker to get this fixed.
