My browser is in the eastern US, EST/EDT, currently UTC-5. But next week, I think it will be UTC-4.
I monitor servers all around the globe. Having to do this extra time conversion on top of the one for whatever the current offset from UTC the Azure region housing the database I’m looking at is just one step more than my brain wants to handle. Many of those switch to/from Daylight Savings time during a different week than the US does, and go in a different direction, making this even more difficult. I would love to be able to configure a time zone for each server and then have an option to show all times for anything related to each server in that server’s local time.
As a possible half-way step, just add a setting that chooses between the current behavior and displaying everything in UTC. I realize this isn’t an issue for the folks at Redgate HQ, which happens to be at UTC all the time, but it’s maddening for me. I’m probably not alone.
And don't get me started about trying to define alert suppression windows when fighting with time zone calculations when I'm in one TX, the base monitor is in another, and the server is in a third.

SQL Sentry shows the login, host, and application for queries in some areas of the product. So it can be done.

And trying to set Alert suppression windows when I'm in one TZ, the base monitor is in another and the target servers are in a third.is a miserable experience.
