Timezone parameter in Grafana render URL not working

I am trying to pull Grafana dashboard as png image using render API but I get the results in UTC whereas I want timestamp to be in EST (UTC-5).

here is the URL string I am working with. We are using Grafana 3.1 in our company.

http://grafana.io.****.com/render/dashboard-solo/db/sample-metrics?panelId=15&width=1500&height=500&tz=UTC%2D05%3A00

Could you please provide suggestions on this.

Try a newer version of grafana, The timezone parameter was introduced after 3.1

Thanks Torkel.

Is there any workaround to achieve the results we need. Upgrading grafana may take sometime.

Upgrading grafana is usually super quick and easy
