Performance Manager executes monitors over networks of execution servers. The Internet enables such networks to be spread across different time zones. Performance Manager makes time-zone handling easy by automatically saving date and time values in the local time zone defined in the user settings.
User setting: Boston (EST = GMT-05:00)
Execution server 1: Boston (EST = GMT-05:00)
Execution server 2: San Francisco (PST = GMT-08:00)
Monitor #1 is scheduled to execute at 5:00 pm on Execution server 1 and Monitor #2 is scheduled to execute at 5:00 pm on Execution server 2.
Both monitors will execute at 5:00 PM EST, which is 2:00 PM PST in San Francisco. Reported results for monitor #2 will show an execution time of 5:00 PM in addition to the execution server time (GMT-08:00).
