Date & Time Parameters

TIME_ZONE

Default: UTC

The time zone NetBox will use when dealing with dates and times. It is recommended to use UTC time unless you have a specific need to use a local time zone. Please see the list of available time zones.

Date and Time Formatting

You may define custom formatting for date and times. For detailed instructions on writing format strings, please see the Django documentation. Default formats are listed below.

Note

These system defaults will be overridden by a user's selected language/locale when localization is enabled.
