Set default Redgate Monitor time zone
My Redgate Monitor server is on a server with the time zone set to UTC. When I open a Redgate Monitor on that server I get all the times in UTC, which is great.
When I open a Redgate Monitor on my local computer, the GUI shows the times adjusted for my timezone.
Since my team is monitoring from different locations in different time zones, we get different times depending on the timezone.
I would like an option in Redgate Monitor configuration to easily set a default time zone so all the users can see the same time zone.

We monitor databases across the globe, by people across the globe. When I spot an issue from my office in USA for a database in Australia and want to communicate about it to a colleague in Europe, being able to reference everything in UTC is critical, especially since countries differ in whether and when they change to/from Daylight Saving Time, so the offset is different depending on which week it is.
Displaying everything in browser local time causes extra cognitive load and sometimes leads to people trying to investigate incidents by looking at the wrong time range in logs.
