which time zone is used for Data Activator

I have created an alert in Data Activator, the activator check data base and report Jira issue counts per hour. The issue is which time zone is used in the Data Activator. Is it related to my Power BI storage region?

Hi @Jeanxyz,

 

I have checked the docs, but couldn't find any setting or section which clarifies this.

 

But based on this thread (from 4 months ago) it might be UTC?

Thanks, that seems to be correct, the data activator seems to use UTC time. I also notice that my Power BI region is North-Europe (Ireland), that happens to be UTC time as well.
