Group UTC data to local time zone

  • What Grafana version and what operating system are you using?
    8.2.1 Home assistant OS

  • What are you trying to achieve?
    A bar graph of daily enery cost

I’m trying to get a daily maximum for a sensor but it shows the wrong value as the data is in UTC in InfluxDB and I’m in UTC+10.

I’ve tried changing my Grafana profile timezone to UTC but that makes no difference, it’s still showing the wrong maximum for the day.

So I’ve ended up grouping by time(1d,-10h) . This works perfectly but it is all going to come undone in a couple of months when we start daylight savings.

How do I group the UTC data in Influx to my local timezone days in Grafana?

Anyone?

You can use the tz() clause in influx (assuming you’re using InfluxQL and not Flux)

I am using InfluxQL, so this sounds perfect. Unfortunately I have been unable to find any relevant documentation on how to use tz().

Is this available in Grafana’s GUI, or will I have to use the raw query editor?

e.g. How would it be used for this?

SELECT last("value") FROM "$" WHERE ("entity_id" = 'total_cost_today') AND $timeFilter GROUP BY time(1d,-10h) fill(none)

EDIT: Never mind. Got it sorted. Thank you very much for your help.

Cool, glad you got it sorted! Yes, it’s in the Grafana query builder (in recent versions of Grafana). The relevant Influx docs are here: Explore data using InfluxQL | InfluxDB OSS 1.8 Documentation
