Converting Alert Trigger Time from UTC to IST in Netflow Anomaly Detector Notifications in opensearch dashboards

OpenSearch Dashboards
1

Versions (relevant - OpenSearch/Dashboard/Server OS/Browser): 2.15

I have created anomaly detectors for Netflow logs aimed at detecting outbound traffic. The detection logic includes aggregation using the average of network bytes transferred and incorporates alert conditions based on confidence and anomaly score.

However, I noticed that the alert notifications I receive show the trigger time in UTC. For operational convenience, I would like to have the trigger time displayed in Indian Standard Time (IST).

Could you please guide me on how to configure the system or alerts so that the trigger time is shown in IST instead of UTC? Any pointers or steps to achieve this would be greatly appreciated.

@vidhya you are able to configure the timezone for monitors in cron section as follows:

POST _plugins/_alerting/monitors
{
  "type": "monitor",
  "name": "IST Monitor",
  "enabled": true,
  "schedule": {
    "cron": {
      "expression": "0/5 * * * *",  
      "timezone": "Asia/Kolkata"
    }
  },
  "inputs": [

Also, is your UI configured to use the correct timezone, in “Dashboard Management” → “Advanced Settings” → “Timezone for date formatting”
