How do I display a different time-zones (CET/CEST) in Alert notifications?

Grafana Alerting
,
1

Host system: Ubuntu 20.04
Grafana version: 9.2

I have the following alert template that I am using to notify alert in Slack:

{{ define "custom.firing_and_resolved_alerts" -}}
{{ len .Alerts.Firing }} firing alert(s)
{{ range .Alerts.Firing -}}
  {{ template "alert.summary_and_description" . -}}
{{ end -}}
{{ len .Alerts.Resolved }} resolved alert(s)
{{ range .Alerts.Resolved -}}
    {{ template "alert.summary_and_description" . -}}
{{ end }}
{{ end -}}

{{ define "alert.summary_and_description" }}
  {{"\t"}}*Name*: {{ .Labels.alertname }}
  {{"\t"}}*Description*: {{.Annotations.description}}
  {{"\t"}}*Summary*: {{.Annotations.summary}}
  {{"\t"}}*Host*: {{ .Labels.human_name }}
  {{"\t"}}*Starts at*: {{ .StartsAt }}
{{ end -}}

I have configure the timezone of our tenant to Europ/Zurich:

But the field .StartsAt is still displayed as UTC:

I would like to display this field as CET/CEST. How do I fix this?

Use tz function, see doc:

Thank you for the link to the docs. When I adapt the template like this, I get an error:

You have an old Grafana version where that function is not available.

Thank you for the clarification. I take from that, that there is no solution until we upgrade Grafana. Thanks.
