Time on panel shows wrong

I have done a lot of searching and tried changing the settings in many ways but I can’t seem to get it to look right - I realize the datetime in my sql data is transformed to UTC by mariadb - I am in PST and any way I change it I get like an 8hr lead on the data even though the data is correct in the database. Any good tutorials on this? Seems pretty basic - The data in the sql db is correct but no matter what settings I use I get no panel data displayed if I select say “last 6 hrs”

Any help appreciated,

I found it - had to change the query to UNIX_TIMESTAMP(datetime) to get it to display correctly… no more 8 hr gap!
