Hi,  
I transfer data to the influxdb using telegraf.  
I have a problem with the times shown to me in influxdb.  
For example, I see in live that data comes in at 05:38PM but in influxdb it shows me that the new data comes in at 05:31PM, Which also causes incorrect display of times in Grafana.  
What could be the problem? I would appreciate your help  
The timezone is set correctly and is similar on all servers.

Thanks

Hello @AmitS,  
Welcome!  
What version are you using?  
What do you mean data comes in at 5:38? Where are you seeing that? coming in where? Is that the time its being collected or being written?  
And then how are you verifying the new data?  
Can you share more about your setup and your logs?  
Thank you

Hi @Anaisdg ,  
I am using version 2.7.10.  
I will try to explain the situation, for example:  
My time now is 05:38PM, The new information that entered influxdb at that minute is shown to me at 05:31PM. This means the influxdb shows me all the data as if it came in 7 minutes earlier.  
Then when I show data for the last 5 minutes I see nothing.

Which input plugin are you using, are you passing a timestamp or are is Telegraf adding it for you? If you run your input with the --test option are the timestamps listed there correct?
