# Time Differences

There are three separate times that are used by the application and which might be different due to the time zones, these are:

  • The client's WHMCS server
  • The client's device (computer, mobile etc) where reports are checked
  • MetricsCube server

Let us explain now how to set up the app's configuration to eliminate the differences. These data are used on the Live Dashboard and in the Activity Feed.

# MetricsCube server & client's device

Set up the time differences between the MetricsCube server and the client's browser (client's device).

  • Proceed to: Settings → My Account → Time Difference
  • The time configuration range: from +12 h to -12 h

It affects the calculation of the time difference that has passed since the event. If the time difference is set up incorrectly, the event might be described as a future one - "in a few seconds", see screenshots below:

# Client's WHMCS server & MetricsCube server

Set up the time differences between the MetricsCube server and the client's WHMCS server.

  • Proceed to: Settings → My Applications → Edit → Timezone Difference
  • The time configuration range: from +12 h to -12 h

This difference is used to calculate the correct time of the event, usually shown in the tooltip after hovering over the descriptive time difference in the first event details.
