Tech note FS1425
Description
Is the time of day local time or Greenwich Mean Time?
Answer
By default, FlashStats interprets all times to be local time. For instance, a value of 12:00 will be seen as noon in your local time zone.
If your web server writes the time in Greenwich Mean Time and includes an adjuster value such as -0800, FlashStats will not use the adjuster value. In this case, your reports will be off by the amount of the time zone offset.
This problem also affects IIS 4, which logs all times as GMT.
FlashStats 1.4.x includes an option to convert times from GMT to local time. To use this feature, open the FlashStats configuration file (FlashStats.ini or flashstats.conf). Set the following parameter:
FixGmt=1
You can add the line anywhere in the configuration file if it doesn't already exist.
