FreePBX server time help

Help for FreePBX

I have configured my freepbx 17 to use NTP server using chrony. And the time sync works and when i run command “timedatectl status” i gives me the correct Local time which is currently in BST time zone.

But I am a little confused because when I go to the Time Conditions section on freepbx, it shows Server Time like this on the top section: “Server Time: 16:31:50 UTC” but this is 1hr behind because of daylight savings. So I’m not sure when I create the time condition will it use the Local Time that i can see when I run “timedatectl status” or will it use the Server Time that the freepbx is showing on the top of the page?

I configured voicemail to email and the date and time that displays in the email body is accurate. But still a little confused. Should it be ok?

Kind of throws you off as you’d think the time should be consistant.

Thanks

There’s the system (OS) level time, which is what timedatectl will show. Then there is the PHP time zone which is used when anything is run through a PHP based script or code. So wakeup calls, time conditions, etc. You change the PHP time zone in Settings → Advanced Settings for the system.
