Is it possible to change the format of the date in puppet-dashboard, from the American style to the format the rest of the world uses? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

American style (which makes no sense to me) would be more like 08-27-2010 12:30 UTC -- Rob McBroom <http://www.skurfer.com/> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Hi Rob, Your quite correct, I wasn''t being very clear! I was referring to the Daily Run status graph which shows mm-dd-yy on my dashboard (1.0.3). And yes it would be nice to use the local time zone instead of UTC! and to be honest, the only way to make it really unambiguous would be to use MMM instead of MM On Aug 27, 1:35 pm, Rob McBroom <mailingli...@skurfer.com> wrote:> On Aug 27, 2010, at 3:41 AM, matonb wrote: > > > Is it possible to change the format of the date in puppet-dashboard, > > from the American style to the format the rest of the world uses? > > I''d settle for having it display in my time zone instead of UTC. :) > > My dashboard installation (1.0.3) shows dates like > > 2010-08-27 12:30 UTC > > Isn''t that “the format the rest of the world uses” – largest to smallest?

I think date format should be a configurable option.

Yes you can - See the file environment.rb in the puppet-dashboard/config directory I changed my entry to: config.time_zone = ''Pacific Time (US & Canada)'' On Aug 27, 6:10 am, Steve Nielsen <st...@nielsenhq.com> wrote:> I think date format should be a configurable option. > > Steve > > On Fri, Aug 27, 2010 at 8:08 AM, matonb <brett.ma...@googlemail.com> wrote: > > Hi Rob, > > > Your quite correct, I wasn''t being very clear! > > > I was referring to the Daily Run status graph which shows mm-dd-yy > > on my dashboard (1.0.3). > > And yes it would be nice to use the local time zone instead of UTC! > > > and to be honest, the only way to make it really unambiguous would > > be to use MMM instead of MM > > > On Aug 27, 1:35 pm, Rob McBroom <mailingli...@skurfer.com> wrote: > >> On Aug 27, 2010, at 3:41 AM, matonb wrote: > > >> > Is it possible to change the format of the date in puppet-dashboard, > >> > from the American style to the format the rest of the world uses? > > >> I''d settle for having it display in my time zone instead of UTC. :) > > >> My dashboard installation (1.0.3) shows dates like > > >> 2010-08-27 12:30 UTC > > >> Isn''t that “the format the rest of the world uses” – largest to smallest?

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: Change date format in puppet-dashboard
Regarding the timezone and date-time format discussion: we''d like to
resolve this and have an issue assigned to one of the next releases. Do
the details below capture the intended behavior?
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4605
Application should use the timezone and format set in a site-specific
configuration
Currently:
* Timezone is set in |config/environment.rb| and this file must be
edited to alter it. This is bad because this file is versioned and
is part of the app. Worse still, not everything in the application
uses it — such as Status::by_interval uses the timezone that’s set
on the operating system instead.
* Time/date formats are set in
|config/initializers/time_formats.rb|. These now use international
format, but we should accommodate people with other preferences.
* Charts use their own format, ignoring the timezone and formatting
used in the rest of the application..
Desired behavior:
* Site-wide settings should be implemented, see #4604
<http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4604>
* Timezone setting should be added to the site-wide settings
* Date-time format setting should be added to the site-wide settings
* Everything should use the timezone settings, e.g. the views,
Status::by_interval, charts, etc.
* Everything should use the date-time formatting settings, e.g. the
Rails views and charts.

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: Change date format in puppet-dashboard
I think that implementing the desired behaviour you''ve specified would definitely be a move in the right direction. Putting site-wide settings in on place would avoid confusion and frustration!
