I’m using influxdb V1.8.10 (docker image) in an IOT stack to collect data from my weather station (amongst other things). This is read by Grafana to display info through a web browser. I’m also using influx client CLI V1.1.1 on a Linux box to execute ad-hoc queries. My question relates to the tim…

Try looking at InfluxQL timezones , you’ll find the syntax for the timezone function. I don’t understand the root problem… Z stands for UTC time, which is the ONLY one supported by InfluxDB, any data you write into it will be saved in UTC, the tz() function allows you to specify an offset.

I did find that page whilst researching, but that converts the output of the search result; not the input range. My hope was that I could specify the time range in local time rather than ZULU. From your response, I assume this is not possible.
